Tamim, who retired from international cricket in January 2025 after a short comeback, has always been seen as one of the most important and influential players in Bangladesh cricket.
For now, Tamim is concentrating on the process through which he will contest in the upcoming election.
Meanwhile, discussions are ongoing about the possibility of postponing the polls and forming an ad-hoc committee, with current BCB president Aminul Islam Bulbul continuing in his role. The National Sports Council (NSC) may also allow Bulbul to remain as a director and later contest for the presidency.
At the same time, the BCB has repeatedly stated that the election will be held on schedule.
A crucial board meeting is set for next Monday in Sylhet, where the final election roadmap is expected to be announced. With the date drawing closer, the intensity of election-related activity is already being felt.
