Who are taking part in the upcoming BCB elections?
A total of 16 posts will be contested in the elections.
The much-awaited elections of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will take place on October 6. The list of the contestants has already been finalised and as many as nine directors have been finalised even before the elections.
That means a total of 16 posts will be contested in the elections. No nomination paper was cancelled but Shawkat Aziz Rasel from category-2, who bought a nomination paper for Amber Sporting, has opted out of the elections.
Seven councillors- Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel from Sylhet Divisional Sports Organisation, Akram Khan from Chattogram Divisional Sports Organisation, AZM Nasir Uddin from Chattogram District Sports Organisation, Sheikh Sohel from Khulna Divisional Sports Organisation, Kazi Inam Ahmed from Jashore District Sports Organisation, Alamgir Khan from Barishal Divisional Sports Organisation and Anwarul Islam from Rangpur Divisional Sports Organisation- have been elected uncontested. Two directors will be elected from the National Sports Council (NSC). Ahmed Sazzadul Alam Boby and Jalal Yunus are likely to be elected.
