BCB president Nazmul Hasan

Nazmul Hassan will steer Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) as its president for a new four-year term as he was chosen by all the newly-elected directors on Thursday, reports UNB.
He served as the president of the board in the last two terms.
Nazmul said his main goal in the new term is to complete the construction of the Sheikh Hasina International Stadium in Purbachal.
"The main thing we have to do in the term is to build the Sheikh Hasina Stadium. We need this stadium if we would like to host the World Cup. This stadium is something must for us to hold big events," Nazmul said on Thursday in the first media interaction after the election.
"As a team, we are slightly good in ODIs only, but we have to work more to be a better team. We should target number five in the ODI rankings as a team. There are many big teams who we need to beat if we want to become the number five team," Nazmul added.
"In the new term, we will work on forming regional cricket bodies. And to do that, we have to make some changes to our constitution," Nazmul further added.
The general election of BCB took place on Wednesday. A total of 23 directors were elected in the election with seven who won the election unopposed.
Jalal Yunus and Ahmed Sajjadul Alam were nominated as directors by the National Sports Council (NSC). They were BCB directors in the last term as well.
