Extreme chaos in BCB, Bulbul claims to be president despite losing power

Sports reporter

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is in a state of chaos and unrest. The situation created after the National Sports Council (NSC) dissolved the current board of directors has taken a new turn, with board president Aminul Islam Bulbul taking a fresh look at the situation. He has rejected the NSC’s investigation report, calling it ‘flawed and legally unacceptable’. At the same time, Aminul has declared himself the ‘only legitimate president’ of BCB, claiming that the new ad hoc committee formed under Tamim Iqbal’s leadership is ‘unconstitutional and illegal’.

​Today, immediately after the NSC board was dissolved, Aminul Islam Bulbul expressed his firm stance through a press release. He claimed that the BCB elections held on October 6, 2025 were completely transparent and legal. Senior Supreme Court lawyers and high-ranking government officials were in charge of conducting those elections. As a result, he commented that the NSC investigation was ‘outside its jurisdiction’ and ‘politically motivated’.

Aminul Islam said, “The formation of an ad hoc committee led by Tamim Iqbal by dissolving the elected board of directors is a constitutional coup. We do not accept the authority of this committee.” In this situation, he demanded urgent intervention from the International Cricket Council (ICC). According to him, this government intervention will tarnish the international image of the country’s cricket and erode the confidence of investors.

It is worth noting that even after the decision to dissolve the board was made, Aminul Islam went to inspect the BCB ground in Purbachal today along with Khaled Masud. There too, he presented arguments in support of his position. He made it clear that he is the legitimate head of the board until the High Court’s verdict.
Those concerned believe that this legal and administrative complication of the BCB is pushing the country’s cricket towards an uncertain future. Now everyone’s eyes are on the ICC’s reaction and the court’s next decision.
