Another BCB Director Resigns, Bulbul Growing Increasingly Isolated

Sports Desk
Faiyazur Rahman has resigned from the post of director of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) citing personal reasons. His resignation has left BCB President Aminul Islam Bulbul in a further corner.

Faizur himself confirmed the matter on Saturday. However, he did not want to give any details on the matter right now. Faizur said, ‘I submitted my resignation after today’s board meeting. This is completely my personal decision.’

Fayyajur resigned as the fourth member of the current board since January this year. Just two days before, Yasir Mohammad Faisal Ashiq resigned last Thursday. With the departure of one director after another, the current board led by President Aminul Islam Bulbul is gradually shrinking.

The current board has been going through turmoil since its formation on October 6 last year. Initially, Ishfaq Hasan was nominated by the National Sports Council (NSC) as the director, but he quickly resigned due to controversy. He was replaced by Rubaba Daula after it was revealed that he was an Awami League candidate in the last election.

Then, in January, Ishtiaq Sadiq and last month, Amjad Hossain resigned citing personal reasons. Faizur’s departure further increased the vacuum at the policy-making level of the board.
