The Bangladesh Cricket Board will appoint a new audit firm to look into the board's finances, said its president Faruk Ahmed.

The decision was taken at a board meeting Thursday in a bid to find out the irregularities that happened over the years.

"We have taken a decision to appoint a new audit firm to investigate our finances. We'll appoint one from the top three or four firms of the country," Faruk said here Thursday.

"The decision was taken to find out the irregularities. If anything happened over the years, it will be unearthed after the audit. The Anti Corruption Commission will come into act if any irregularities are found."

Among other major decisions, another important one was to cancel the tender process for the Sheikh Hasina International Stadium, which was to be built in Purbachal.

"The stadium's tender process' last date was [Wednesday] and we have cancelled it following everyone's approval," Faruk said.

"We'll try to use this ground without hampering its main design. As we need a number of grounds, we can use this ground. At this moment, a big project is not viable."

Faruk also said he is in favor making the 2023 World Cup investigation report public since everyone has the right to know what happened during that tournament.

"I also want to know what happened. An investigation was made after that World Cup but it was not made public. We'll also look into the matter why it was not made public."
