Aminul Islam Bulbul has been elected as the new President of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).
According to the BCB constitution, the President is elected by the vote of the directors, who themselves are elected by the councillors.
On Monday, the BCB’s Board of Directors election was held at a five-star hotel in Dhaka. Khaled Masud Pilot secured a decisive victory, bringing the total number of former cricketers on the board to four. Abdur Razzak was elected unopposed, while Aminul Islam Bulbul and Faruk Ahmed were also confirmed on election day.
Aminul was first elected unopposed as a director from Dhaka Division (Category-1), securing 15 votes. He then assumed the position of BCB President unopposed.
From the same category, Barisal Division’s Sakhawat Hossain was elected Vice President, joining the board for the first time, also unopposed.
Former national team captain and ex-BCB President Faruk Ahmed submitted his application for the other Vice President post who received 42 votes from Category-2.
For these three top positions, President and the two Vice Presidents: no one else submitted nominations besides Aminul, Sakhawat, and Faruk. According to Returning Officer Dr. Jubayed Hasan, this made a separate vote among directors unnecessary.
After voting took place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the preliminary results were announced at 6:30 p.m. A total of 23 directors were elected from three categories, including four former national team cricketers. The remaining two were nominated by the National Sports Council.
