The Bangladesh Cricket Board has confirmed the technical committee for the BPL T20 2026, bringing together some of the most experienced figures in the game. The group will guide standards, oversee fair play, and support smooth operations throughout the tournament.
A.S.M. Roquibul Hassan will serve as the convener. The former Bangladesh captain and veteran match referee returns to a familiar role with his long experience in cricket governance. His presence signals a strong focus on discipline and structure.
Simon Taufel joins as the advisor. The former ICC elite panel umpire is widely known as one of the best umpires in cricket history. He has worked around the world as a high-performance consultant and will help set clear benchmarks for umpiring and match management in the league.
Iftekhar Rahman has been named an ex-officio member. He is the member secretary of the BPL Governing Council and will represent the council inside the committee. His role ensures that decisions stay aligned with the league’s operational plans.
Former Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar Sumon will serve as a committee member. His experience across domestic and international cricket adds valuable insight, especially in player-related and tactical areas.
Another ex-officio member, Abhi Abdullah Al Noman, joins the panel as the representative in charge of the BCB’s umpires department. His presence will help connect the committee’s work with the board’s umpiring structure.
The BCB says the committee’s job is simple but vital: keep standards high and protect the fairness of the league. With the 2026 edition set to bring strong competition, this panel is expected to play a central role in shaping the quality of the tournament.
The announcement has already created interest among fans as the BPL moves toward a new season with a renewed focus on transparency, performance and professionalism.
