Nazmul Hassan is planning to step down as the president of the BCB, according to a report.

In the bustling city of New Delhi, there has been talk about the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and its current state of affairs. It seems that the board's president, Nazmul Hassan, has offered to step down from his position in order to collaborate with the Muhammad Yunus-led government and implement much-needed reforms.

This comes as a surprise to many, as Nazmul has been serving as BCB President for four consecutive terms and has been out of the public eye since the country's recent unrest and the subsequent downfall of the Sheikh Hasina government. According to reports from Cricbuzz, a few BCB directors held a meeting on August 14 to discuss their next steps.

In addition, former BCB officials and organizers have been making their voices heard, demanding the resignation of Nazmul and his team, whose term is set to end in October 2025. A BCB director, who was present at the meeting, shared, "One of our directors is in communication with him and has informed us that Papon bhai is willing to cooperate and even step down from his role as president in order to bring about change within the board."

Another director present at the meeting added, "If the board is to be run by an elected body in the future, we will need the interim government's full support. If the president resigns, he can request to convene a board meeting to accept his resignation and hold elections."

When asked about the process that would follow if Nazmul were to resign, a veteran director stated, "I can only speak on the approved constitution by the general council. Anything beyond that, I am unaware of." They further explained, "As per our constitution, any resignation must be submitted to the board for acceptance or rejection. Just like in a bank, if an employee resigns, it is up to the board to accept or reject their resignation letter."

They went on to clarify, "If the resignation is accepted, there will be a vacancy that needs to be filled through an election. The president and vice president will be elected from the 25 members of the board. The board that accepts the resignation will also be responsible for electing the next president and vice president, following the proper process."
