Who will be the captain in place of Tamim Iqbal? There is no end to the curiosity of fans and supporters. The cricket community is eager to know who BCB chooses as the new ODI captain instead of Tamim.
Is BCB under pressure to nominate a new captain? Is the BCB suffering from indecision to nominate a new captain a few months before the Asia Cup? There are whispers all around.
Speaking to the media in Shere Bangla on Saturday afternoon, Mallik said, “Tamim stepping down from the captaincy is a shock, it was said by the honorable board president.” But Mallick thinks there is no reason to be upset about it. Because the head of the board Nazmul Hasan Papon himself is looking into the matter.
So, word of mouth, they (Board President and other top executives) are working on it very closely with the team management. There are cricket operations, the Hon’ble Board President himself is looking after it. There is nothing to be too upset about it.’ The former team director of the national team and one of the senior directors, Khaled Mahmud Sujan, is now seen a little less in the activities of the board. Is there any special reason behind it?
In response to such a question, Mallik said, ‘Sujan Bhai is there. He is our game development chairman. Also Vice Chairman of Operations. The day before yesterday I also saw him talking to the board president about various things.
Today, when BCB director Ismail Haider Mallick spoke to the media on the occasion of the birthday of Sheikh Kamal, the eldest son of the national sports organizer and Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the topic of BPL also came up. Needless to say, he is BCB director and member secretary of BPL governing council.
Talking about the schedule of BPL, Mallick informed that the time will not change, the BPL will start immediately after the National Assembly elections. “We have already said that we will start within a week of the national elections,” said Mallik. Talks are going on with the parties in the same way.
