BCB Crisis Deepens as Aminul Islam Refuses to Quit After Wave of Director Resignations

A government probe into the disputed 2025 board election now puts fresh scrutiny on Bangladesh cricket's leadership.

Overview

  • The Bangladesh Cricket Board, following Saturday's board meeting, saw four directors quit, bringing total resignations to six since January.
  • President Aminul Islam said he will be "the last person to go" and blamed an "external force" for slowing the board's work.
  • Investigators submitted their report on alleged malpractice in the October 2025 election to the government after receiving Islam's written reply in place of an in‑person interview.
  • Islam said his only role in the election was asking divisions and districts to send councillor names through ad-hoc committees that run local sports bodies under the BCB constitution.
  • The sports ministry has questioned the election's validity, highlighted Bangladesh missing the 2026 T20 World Cup, and cited claims of political favoritism inside the board.
