Dhaka, Bangladesh – Web Desk, April 6, 2026:The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is facing an escalating governance crisis as three more directors resigned on Saturday, raising the total number of resignations in under six months to six.
Shanian Tanim, Faizur Rahman, and Mehrab Alam Chowdhury stepped down following a lengthy board meeting, though the official reasons for their resignations have not been disclosed and are reportedly personal decisions. Earlier, Yasir Muhammad Faisal, Ishtiaq Siddique, and Amjad Hussain had also resigned citing various reasons.
The resignations come amid increasing pressure on BCB President Aminul Islam Bulbul, who remains in office despite mounting criticism. Last year’s October elections, government interference allegations, and administrative scrutiny have compounded the board’s instability.
Aminul Islam Bulbul reaffirmed his commitment to the post, stating, “I will be the last person to leave this chair.” He emphasized that his role during the elections was limited to calling for councilors’ names from districts and that he has submitted written responses to the investigative committee.
The Ministry of Youth and Sports has also raised concerns regarding the election process, which earlier prompted former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal to withdraw from the presidential race over alleged irregularities.
The BCB continues to navigate intense scrutiny as both administrative and political pressures threaten the board’s stability ahead of upcoming cricket events.
