CWAB Elections Set for September 4

=====================================

The Cricketers Welfare Association of Bangladesh (CWAB) has announced that its election will be held on September 4. A three-member election commission, chaired by Iftikhar Rahman Mithu, has been formed to oversee the entire process.

The announcement followed a crucial meeting at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, attended by several current and former cricketers, aimed at reviving and restructuring the players' body.

Election Process

The election process will begin soon, with membership enrollment, nomination form collection, and submission. All players registered with the Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM) since 1975 will be eligible to become lifetime members with voting rights. Current and former national and first-class players listed as permanent CWAB members will also be able to vote.

However, any CWAB member who holds a formal position in the BCB will be disqualified from voting to avoid a conflict of interest.

CWAB's Commitment

CWAB's renewed commitment is focused on ensuring the welfare of cricketers across all stages of their careers. The association plans to establish training centers to help retired players skill up in areas like coaching or journalism.

Key Focuses

• Ensuring proper contracts are in place and that players get their dues on time
• Helping retired players stay active and engaged post-retirement

Upcoming Election

The upcoming election is an opportunity for players to choose genuine representatives. Current players have decided to get involved directly in CWAB, and the election is open to everyone.
