The possibility of such a thing was known long ago. On August 15, it is known from several sources that Nazmul Hasan Papon has decided to resign from the post of BCB president. Since then, the discussion has come up, who is going to be the next board president? Several names came up in the discussion. Where was the former national team captain and former chief selector Farooq Ahmed, former captain Aminul Islam, Khaled Masood, cricket coach and analyst Nazmul Abedin. However, according to the sources, Farooq Ahmed is first in the race for the president.

In the end that is the truth. BCB's emergency meeting started today (Wednesday) in the conference room of the Secretariat of the Sports Ministry as per the pre-scheduled schedule. It was during that meeting that Papon resigned as president and Farooq Ahmed was appointed as the new president of BCB.

However, Farooq Ahmed's direct position as president was very complicated. But that became easier on Monday after the resignation of Jalal Yunus as director. This is why Farooq was brought as the director of BCB in that vacant position. Later, he was elected as the president through the voting of the Board of Directors.

Meanwhile, Jalal Yunus was the National Sports Council (NSC) nominated director. Later, Jalal was asked to resign from NSC on Monday morning by phone. Later he submitted his resignation through e-mail.

Another director nominated by NSC Sajjadul Alam Bobby was also asked to resign there. But he still did not resign.
