BCB to appoint new audit firm, BPL draft in September
|| CF DESK ||
After a long board meeting between the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president and other directors, several changes and plans have been revealed.
The president announced that a new audit firm will be appointed to review the organization's finances.
"We will appoint an independent audit firm from amongst the top four in the country. Everything will be different this time," Faruque told reporters.
Faruque further informed that he will be looking at the 2023 World Cup investigation report, which had not been made public under previous BCB president Nazmul Hassan Papon.
The tender process for the Sheikh Hasina International Stadium, which was to be built in Purbachal, has been cancelled.
"The stadium's tender process's last date was yesterday [Wednesday] and we have cancelled it following everyone's approval," Faruque said.
The newly appointed BCB president said that he was hopeful of holding the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) at the right time. But it depends on the teams that will participate.
Meanwhile, ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and head coach Chandika Hathurusingha have been in the spotlight for separate reasons. Faruque said that a decision on Hathurusingha will have to wait until the Pakistan series ends.
Faruque also confirmed that Shakib will continue staying outside since he has been handed NOC to play in county cricket, but a decision on the matter will be made after the India series.
Faruque revealed the resignation of the chairman of women's wing Shafiul Islam Nadel who failed to attend consecutive board meeting.
