Bangladesh is prepared to host the upcoming ICC board meeting and possibly the election for the sport's governing body, according to Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hasan Papon on Sunday.

"It has been confirmed that the next ICC board meeting will be in Dhaka. Possibly the election [ICC] would take place here," Papon said the reporters during an press conference at the secretariat on Sunday.

Greg Barclay, the current ICC chairman, was unanimously re-elected in November 2022 for a second two-year term, which ends later this year.

"I think there will be an election (in the ICC) as the current chairman will have the last board meeting. We are expected to give our election mandate by this time," he said.

Despite concerns about the country's unrest, Papon reassured the ICC during the latest board meeting that Bangladesh is committed to hosting the Women's T20 World Cup as planned.
