Cricket organiser Lutfor Rahman Badal slammed the Bangladesh Cricket Board for anomalies and irregularities at a press conference at the Hotel Purbani yesterday.
He presented a total of 12 points to support his claim. The points included the BCB elections not being held in true democratic spirit, the concerned people being motivated to cash in on their positions and they being involved with all BCB works with most of the big budget jobs done without a tender process, many of the ad-hoc committee members being inexperienced and the foreign relations of BCB being at the lowest level they have hit in recent years.
Badal also noted that Bangladesh have to play in the qualifiers for the WT20 Cup and the BCB allowing players from competition Zimbabwe and Afghanistan learning about the conditions they would encounter while playing the Dhaka Premier League. He also pointed out that BCB had failed to form a tribunal to investigate match fixing allegations despite 40 days having passed since the ICC paved the way for such a move.
“The amendments to the BCB constitution are just a mockery. The existing committee members have penned it to serve their own causes and the whole election process has become most controversial. The marketing of BCB has hit the lowest level. Overall the BCB is now surrounded by failures,” concluded Badal
