Tamim prioritises Bangladesh cricket’s reputation rebuild

Newly appointed Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) adhoc
committee president Tamim Iqbal said restoring the reputation of Bangladesh
cricket will be the top priority of his 11-member committee.
The former national captain chaired his first board
meeting at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium yesterday, shortly after
the National Sports Council dissolved the Aminul Islam Bulbul-led elected board
and appointed him as head of the adhoc committee.
“We strongly feel that our first task is to restore
the reputation of Bangladesh cricket. The damage done over the past one to
one-and-a-half years makes this our most important priority,” Tamim said at a
press conference following the meeting.
He added that the committee has been tasked with
ensuring a free and fair election within three months.
“We will carry out this responsibility as honestly and
as quickly as possible,” he said.
When asked whether members of the adhoc committee
would contest the upcoming election, Tamim confirmed their participation.
“Yes, of course, we will take part in the election,”
he said.
