Newly appointed Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) adhoc committee president Tamim Iqbal said restoring the reputation of Bangladesh cricket will be the top priority of his 11-member committee.
The former national captain chaired his first board meeting at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium yesterday, shortly after the National Sports Council dissolved the Aminul Islam Bulbul-led elected board and appointed him as head of the adhoc committee.
“We strongly feel that our first task is to restore the reputation of Bangladesh cricket. The damage done over the past one to one-and-a-half years makes this our most important priority,” Tamim said at a press conference following the meeting.
He added that the committee has been tasked with ensuring a free and fair election within three months.
“We will carry out this responsibility as honestly and as quickly as possible,” he said.
When asked whether members of the adhoc committee would contest the upcoming election, Tamim confirmed their participation.
“Yes, of course, we will take part in the election,” he said.
