Holding transparent elections at BCB is the main objective – Aminul Islam

In order to organise a free and fair election in October, former Bangladesh captain Aminul Islam announced that he will join the Bangladesh Cricket Board. Aminul Islam stated that he had no intention of remaining on the board after the elections.

Aminul Islam is anticipated to assume the hot seat following Faruque Ahmed‘s removal from the position.

“Creating the best cricket board and holding a transparent election are my top priorities. That’s all. Aminul Islam informed Cricbuzz on Thursday that he had no interest in competing in the upcoming election. “I answered yes when the government requested. “Now, all you have to do is follow the procedure,” he stated.

“I have always contributed to cricket’s growth. As previously stated, I have never had the chance to work in this role. I’ve never had an official offer before, and I didn’t decline. The first point is as easy as that,” he clarified.

“Secondly, I shall labour now that the chance has presented itself. I’m concentrating on doing my job until the elections. I have no idea what the future will bring, whether I return to the ICC or am given any more responsibilities. However, I do not now intend to take part in the elections. I don’t intend to remain in this position for very long,” he added.

“At this time, I am not formally aware of the precise function that I will be offered. Since I don’t fully understand the board’s constitution, I believe that if the National Sports Council (NSC) appoints me as a counsellor and grants me directorship, it will be up to the board directors to choose me to be the president of the BCB,” he stated.

Currently serving as the ICC’s development officer, Aminul Islam asserted that he had discussed joining the board with the World Governing Body of Sports after being contacted by government officials, who granted him an indefinite leave of absence.

“You’re free,” the ICC informed me. You are free to travel to Bangladesh and work there for as long as you need to. You are welcome to return at any time. For you, the door is always open. Even though I’m the lone player on the Asia squad right now, I appreciate the ICC for approving my move.”

Aminul Islam, who captained Bangladesh in the 1999 World Cup, became the nation’s first Test centurion in 2000 when he scored 145 against India in the first-ever Test match played in Dhaka.

Following his 1988 debut for his country, Aminul Islam played in 39 ODIs and 13 Test matches before retiring to work as a coach and match referee. He had coached in both the ACC and the ICC throughout the previous 20 years.
