Salahuddin Working at BCB with a Salary of 900,000 Taka Without a Contract!

Sports Desk

Faruk Ahmed, upon becoming the BCB president, created a buzz by promising to honor local coaches. Initially, it seemed a local coach would be appointed as head coach. However, Mohammad Salahuddin was ultimately hired as a senior assistant coach. He has been working with the Bangladesh team since the West Indies tour. While a press release announced his appointment, no contract has been signed to date.

Sources from the BCB had previously disclosed Salahuddin’s salary to various media outlets, which amounts to 900,000 Taka per month. Six months have passed, yet no formal agreement has been finalized. Whether Salahuddin is receiving his salary remains shrouded in mystery.

According to the national daily *Samakal*, Salahuddin has not been officially hired due to unknown reasons. However, a BCB official stated that Salahuddin’s employment has been decided until November 30, 2027. Yet, the contract remains unsigned by Faruk Ahmed or Nazmul Abedin Fahim.

The report suggests that the delay stems from a power struggle between Faruk and Fahim. While Faruk, as BCB President and Head of Cricket Operations, initiated Salahuddin’s appointment, he hesitates to formalize it using his presidential authority to avoid conflict with Fahim, who might view it as overreach.

If Salahuddin is receiving his 900,000 Taka salary without a formal contract, it could constitute financial misconduct. Conversely, withholding his salary would violate labor laws. The BCB appears to be operating in secrecy regarding these issues.

A source hinted that Salahuddin might receive less than the agreed amount in the contract, with the remainder allegedly being pocketed as commissions by two influential BCB directors.
