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.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Aminul Islam Bulbul’s three-member Advisory Committee has attracted a lot of criticism as the nomination of its members has not been in line with the board’s constitution.

The independent inquiry committee, set up by Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in February to assist its Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) in investigating suspicious activities during the last Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20, will need another one-and-a-half to two months to finalise its report.

When Aminul Islam Bulbul joined the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) under unprecedented circumstances, replacing Faruque Ahmed as the president, it was expected that his major task would be reforms in the BCB constitution and bringing about elections in October.

The petition also challenged the legality of NSC's decision to appoint former national captain Aminul Islam Bulbul as the new BCB president, Faruque's counsel Barrister Md Ruhul Quddus Kazal told The Daily Star.

Youth and Sports Advisor Asif Mahmud has clarified that the removal of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed was driven by performance issues, not allegations of corruption.
