The Bangladesh Cricket Board’s election for the vice-president posts took a new twist when Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club’s representative Nazib Ahmed entered the race by submitting his nomination paper on Thursday. The interested candidates were allowed to buy and submit their nomination papers at the SBNS until September 11 after the BCB initiated the move to complete the long overdue election to the two vacant vice-president posts.
But after the withdrawal of veteran sports organisers, Afzalur Rahman Sinha and Sazadul Alam, from the race it looked to be an easy affair for the other two candidates – ex-vice-president Mahbub Anam and Azam Nasir, a BCB director from Chittagong.
Nazib, who became a BCB director for the first time, made a grand entrance at the BCB office to submit his nomination paper on Thursday, which now surely brought some life into the election.
The scrutiny of the nomination papers and publishing of the
preliminary list of candidates will be held at the BCB office on September 13.
The last date for withdrawal of nomination papers is September 14 while the final list of the candidates will be published on the following day.
A meeting of the BCB directors will be held on September 16 and it is expected to be followed by the election of the vice-presidents.
