The latest developments surrounding Bangladesh cricket and the newly formed ad hoc committee of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) raise a familiar, uncomfortable question: will the dream of a politics-free sports arena ever move beyond being a hollow slogan?

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) vice-president Faruque Ahmed said that the board would not ‘stop functioning’ even though two of its directors recently resigned amid the ongoing crisis faced by the Aminul Islam Bulbul-led board.

Actor Faruque Ahmed, widely known for his work in numerous dramas and films by Humayun Ahmed, has chosen not to celebrate his birthday, which falls on March 25.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) statement issued on Monday night, in response to the National Sports Council’s (NSC) March 11 gazette regarding an investigation into the October 2025 BCB elections, has left many within the cricketing fraternity confused.

Faruque acknowledged concerns about a possible ICC embargo but avoided firm predictions.

The play, “Rangmahal”, was staged recently and received an encouraging response. Speaking to The Daily Star, Faruque Ahmed reflects on his professional debut as a director, audience reception, memories of Selim Al Deen, and what lies ahead.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has decided to launch a new T20 tournament titled the Sonar Bangla Pathway T20 Cricket League 2026, the board said in a press release on Monday.

The Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM) announced yet another deferment of the First Division League, which will now begin on December 14, the CCDM stated at a press conference at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Wednesday.

BCB vice-president Faruque Ahmed said they would continue efforts to bring the dissenting clubs back into the competition and hinted at the possibility of organising an alternative tournament if needed.

Former board president and current vice-president Faruque Ahmed, however, was not named as chairman of any standing committee.

They were among 17 to get elected in the BCB board of directors’ election held today

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is heading towards a controversial election for board of directors after 16 councillors, including former national captain Tamim Iqbal, withdrew their nominations on Wednesday, alleging government interference.

Set for October 6, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) election has been nothing short of dramatic. Here are the events that have transpired so far:

Former Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal won't run in the upcoming board of directors' election of the BCB

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in Mirpur was abuzz on Thursday, as former skipper Tamim Iqbal and former board president Faruque Ahmed appeared before the Election Commission (EC) for their hearings regarding the 38 objections to the draft voter list received the day before, ahead of the upcoming Board of Directors’ election of the BCB.

An election commissioner of the upcoming Board of Directors' election of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said on Wednesday that the Election Commission (EC) had received 30 objections to the draft voters' list and would hold hearings on those complaints on Thursday.

The much-anticipated draft voters’ list of the upcoming board of directors’ election of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) was revealed on Tuesday after a day’s delay, without some of the top and incumbent directors’ names.

From claiming he was here to play a “T20 innings” as Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president to announcing his intent to contest in the upcoming board elections yesterday, Aminul Islam Bulbul has remained consistent in one regard -- the ambiguity that often characterises the leadership positions in any line of work in the country.
