Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan, adviser to the interim government’s Ministry of Youth and Sports, has stated that the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is currently operating in a patchwork manner.

Speaking at a press conference at the Secretariat on Sunday, marking 100 days of the interim government, he revealed that efforts are being made to overcome the stagnation by appointing new directors.

The reshuffle follows significant changes after August 5, when Sheikh Hasina left the country. Around the same time, several BCB directors, including its president, also departed.

The absence of these directors at five consecutive board meetings led to their positions being vacated. Since then, the board has been functioning with a newly appointed president and a small number of directors.

"BCB is running as a patchwork. When not on duty, BCB people could not be found. Efforts are underway to break the deadlock by appointing new directors,” said Asif.

"Apart from this, annual report and audit report will be given to ensure the accountability of each federation. If someone commits corruption, it will also be investigated. However, several federations, including football, are autonomous. So there is no scope for government intervention there," the sports adviser added.
