A dramatic shift has shaken the Bangladesh Cricket Board as Tamim Iqbal formally assumed the role of board chief, while outgoing president Aminul Islam left office amid the announcement of a new ad hoc committee.
Tamim’s appointment was declared shortly after 4pm on Tuesday, and by 6pm, the former captain set foot at the BCB office to take his place at the helm, signalling a fresh chapter in Bangladesh cricket.
His tenure will extend for a maximum of three months, during which the ad hoc committee under his leadership must organise elections, with Tamim expected to play a central role.
Earlier in the day, Aminul and his executive board quietly exited the premises.
Rumours of the board’s dissolution had circulated for days, but confirmation came only after Aminul returned from inspecting the Purbachal ground with outgoing Grounds Committee chief Khaled Mashud.
