The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is supposed to send letters to the clubs, districts and divisional sports associations asking them to name their councilors today, according to a statement made by BCB president Nazmul Hasan last week.
However, with the one week deadline Nazmul gave for sending the letters running out today, the BCB has yet to confirm whether the matter would be dealt with as scheduled. BCB CEO Nizam Uddin Chowdhury could not be reached on the phone for comment.
Earlier, Nazmul said that the board election would take place in early October and that he would be a candidate in it. On Tuesday, the National Sports Council formed a three member Election Commission to oversee the BCB electoral process.
The election commission is headed by Brig. General Emadul Haque, the director general of BKSP who will be the chief election commissioner while the Director Sports and assistant Director Sports will be serve as Returning and Assistant Returning Officers.
