Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) director Amzad Hussain has stepped down from his role, as he revealed during a press briefing on Monday. This decision followed his recent replacement as chairman of the BCB’s media committee by fellow director Md Mokhsedul Kamal, as per a BCB press statement released on Sunday night.
Amzad clarified that his resignation was mainly due to personal reasons but acknowledged that his removal from the media committee position also influenced his choice. He explained to the media that the governing council can reorganize standing committees and possibly felt the need to restructure the committee he was overseeing. Consequently, feeling his services were no longer required, he made the decision to resign.
Regarding his replacement, Amzad mentioned that he was not provided with specific reasons for the change and respected the board’s decision, speculating that it might have been decided during an online council discussion.
Earlier, the National Sports Council (NSC) established a committee to investigate alleged irregularities in the recent BCB elections. Discussing this issue, Amzad suggested that the election process could have been more transparent, acknowledging the ongoing debates and concerns surrounding all elections.
The BCB officially announced the leadership change in the media committee, stating that Mr. Kamal, who previously held the position of vice-chairman, would now take over from Amzad Hussain. Kamal will also retain his role as chairman of the BCB’s welfare committee, as per the press release.
