Manzur kader

The Bangladesh Cricket Board: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have ousted 11 directors from the board after they missed three or more consecutive meetings in accordance with the board constitution. Among those removed are former BCB president Nazmul Hassan and Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) chairman Sheikh Sohel.

The others include Manzur Kader, AJM Nasir Uddin, Anwarul Islam, Shafiul Alam Chowdhury, Ismail Haider Mallick, Tanvir Ahmed, Obeid Nizam, Gazi Golam Murtoza, and Nazib Ahmed. Additionally, the board accepted resignations from three other directors: Naimur Rahman, Khaled Mahmud, and Enayet Hossain Siraj in its 15th meeting at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.

Since the Awami League government was overthrown on August 5 following a violent student uprising, none of these directors have attended BCB meetings. Many have direct or indirect links to the Awami League. Nazmul previously served as the sports minister, Shafiul as an Awami League MP, and Nasir as Chattogram’s former mayor during the Awami League's 15-year tenure. Sheikh Sohel and Nazib are related to Sheikh Hasina, the former Prime Minister, and Mallick was closely associated with Nazmul.
