BCB Forms Committee for Constitution Amendment

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has taken a significant step towards ensuring good governance by forming a constitution amendment committee. The decision was made during the 15th meeting of the BCB Board of Directors at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

Behind the Move

The National Sports Council (NSC) had requested the BCB to clarify their stance regarding their present state of affairs and form a committee for amending the constitution. In a letter, NSC emphasized the importance of a well-structured constitution, stating it's vital for accountability and responsibility.

BCB's Response

In response, the BCB has decided to form a Constitution Amendment Committee, headed by director Nazmul Abedin as convener. The committee's primary responsibility will be to assess the current BCB Constitution and propose amendments that align with the Board's strategic goals and evolving needs.

Changes at the Top

The BCB has also accepted resignations from directors A.M. Naimur Rahman Durjoy, Khaled Mahmud, and Md. Enayet Husain Siraj, while directorship of 11 other directors has been vacated due to their absence from three or more consecutive meetings.

BCB Preparations for BPL

The 11th edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20 is scheduled to commence on December 30, 2024, with the final set for February 7, 2025.
