The Bangladesh Cricket Board is also in a difficult condition among the political turmoil. The nation, including the cricket board, is in disarray following the recent resignation and departure of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who ruled for fifteen years.
In a matter of weeks, what started out as demonstrations against a jobs quota system quickly turned into widespread unrest against the government, which claimed over 300 lives. The BCB and its impending obligations are under a cloud of uncertainty due to this political unrest.
Like the rest of the nation, the BCB is working to get back to normal. Nonetheless, the fact that important figures are missing, such as BCB President Nazmul Hassan Papon, highlights how dire the situation is.
