POBNEWS24, Desk report, Dec 9, 2021: Cricket is not going well. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has come under fire after it lost to Pakistan at home after the T20 World Cup.
The team selection system, from the country’s cricket infrastructure to the cricket culture are being sharply criticized. Naturally, the BCB seniors are also affected by this. That is why BCB President Nazmul Hasan is looking for a way out of this mire of failure.
On the last day of the home series against Pakistan yesterday, the board president was seen having a private meeting with former captain Mashrafe bin Mortuza and current ODI captain Tamim Iqbal.
No one is reluctant to talk about what has been discussed. When Tamim Iqbal was questioned, he said, ‘I went to the stadium to show my injury. After that the president went to the box and met him (BCB president). Brother Mashrafe also came there. Then there was talk, normal talk. Nothing so serious. ‘
However, since Nazmul Hasan became the board president, he has held meetings with important cricketers of the national team at different times. Looking for ways to overcome various problems. Therefore, it is normal to be interested in the content of the meeting between Mashrafe and Tamim during the Bangladesh-Pakistan Test yesterday. Especially when the team is defeated and the board is sharply criticized. It is also conceivable that Nazmul Hasan will find a way out of the ongoing crisis.
But this discussion is supposed to take place in the shadow of the BCB’s cricket operations committee. But no representative of cricket operations stayed away in the discussion of the two senior cricketers with the board president yesterday, no fourth person was present. The BCB president discussed Mashrafe and Tamim first in the president’s box and then in a nearby hospitality box to protect the secrecy of the discussion. This meeting of the three may be a cause of discomfort for the cricketing minds in the boardroom!
