BCB cancels directorship of Papon and 10 others

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) cancelled the directorship of its former president Nazmul Hassan Papon and 10 other directors, reports BSS.

The decision came from the 15th meeting of the Board of Directors of BCB recently.

Apart from Papon, the other directors were Manzur Kader, A.J.M. Nasir Uddin, Sheikh Sohel, Advocate Anwarul Islam, Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel, Ismail Haider Mallick, Tanvir Ahmed (Titu), Obeid Rashid Nizam, Gazi Golam Murtoza and Nazib Ahmed.

Their directorship fell vacant in accordance with the BCB Constitution due to their absence from three or more consecutive meetings, a BCB press release said.

The Board also accepted the resignations of directors Naimur Rahman Durjoy, Khaled Mahmud and Enayet Husain Siraj.

To ensure the BCB remains functional and responsive to contemporary needs, the Board has decided to form a Constitution Amendment Committee in another major decision from the meeting.

The committee will be headed by BCB Director Nazmul Abedeen as convener. The committee will be responsible for assessing the current BCB Constitution, identifying areas of improvement and proposing amendments that align with the strategic goals and evolving needs of the BCB.

In a significant move to bolster athlete training, the Board has approved the establishment of three fully equipped modern gyms at the Test venues in Dhaka, Chattogram and Sylhet.
