Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) cricket operations chairman Jalal Yunus has decided to resign as board director to the National Sports Council (NSC) today.

Jalal announced his decision in the National Sports Council (NSC) today.

"I have resigned as board director for the greater interest of the cricket," Yunus told the reporters today, confirming his resignation from the cricket apex body.

The NSC will now nominate a new director to replace Jalal Yunus.

Earlier, the board president Nazmul Hasan Papon, who abruptly fled the country after the change of government said to have resigned from the position.

Former Bangladesh captain and chief selector Faruk Ahmed is likely to be nominated by the NSC to replace Jalal in the board of directors, which would make him eligible to get elected as the new president once Papon resigns.
