Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official appointed on Tuesday former national skipper Habibul Bashar as the head of women's cricket, reports Cricbuzz.
Habibul, who worked as the member of the national selection panel from 2016 to 2024 until it was dissolved recently, took over the responsibility at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Tuesday during a meeting of the women's wing headed by its chairman Nadel Chowdhury.
"We have discussed how to go forward in the coming days with women's cricket," Nadel told reporters at the SBNS on Tuesday. "I think it's a huge plus for the women's wing to have someone like Habibul Bashar as the head of the department. And, I think it's a big opportunity for him," he said.
"As an in-charge he will do the planning while David Moore (BCB program head) will do the corresponding with different boards as well as ICC, and under the leadership of Habibul the operations of the women's cricket will take place," he added.
