Dhaka, Bangladesh – Aminul Islam wins a third term as Bangladesh Cricket Board president, running unopposed in a day‑long election. He will lead the board for the next four years.
The vote, held in a Dhaka hotel, mixed paper ballots and electronic voting. Of 156 eligible councillors, 115 cast votes. Eighteen directors were elected directly, and the National Sports Council later added two more names to round out the 25‑member board.
Aminul was one of ten directors chosen from the first category, which represents Bangladesh’s divisions and districts. Dhaka clubs dominated the second category, picking twelve directors, while the third category—made up of institutions, former cricketers, captains and other groups—chooses the remaining directors.
Former captains Aminul, Faruque Ahmed and Khaled Mashud now sit on the board. Other new faces include M. Isfaq Hossain, Yasir Mohammad Faysal Ashik, and Abdur Razzak, who was nominated unopposed from the Khulena region and had recently stepped down from his role as senior men’s selector.
Faruque Ahmed and Shakhawat Hossain were elected vice‑presidents in the same session.
Aminul, who played 13 Tests and 39 ODIs and led Bangladesh to its first World Cup in 1999, said he would remain president “to keep loving Bangladesh cricket development.”
