Who will be acting president for the time being? Conjecture surrounding it. The names of Shakib Al Hasan and Mashrafe Bin Mortaza are listed at the top of the list. Both of them were selected to be members of the National Parliament.
In the 12th National Parliament Election, Nazmul Hasan Papon, an Awami League candidate, prevailed from the Kishoreganj-6 constituency. Papon will take on the role of a full Minister in the Cabinet following his fourth consecutive election as a member of parliament. Will Papon continue to serve as president of BCB after announcing his intention to become a full minister?
Cricket has a large international following and is highly publicized these days. Papon will therefore face significant challenges in managing both the ministry and the cricket board. Sports commentators speculate that because it is challenging to balance two significant tasks, he might step down as BCB president. Who will become the next president of BCB in that scenario?
Papon will remain president of the BCB until September 2025. It will be approximately a year and a half before the next cricket board election. Right now, who will take on the role of acting president? Conjecture surrounding it. Shakib Al Hasan and Mashrafe Bin Mortaza's names are prominently displayed in this list. They were both chosen to serve in the National Parliament. However, he currently has very little chance of becoming BCB's president.
Since it is stipulated in the BCB constitution that a candidate for president must first join the board of directors of a district-based club or a regional cricket organization. Subsequently, the BCB councilor must be. The board director will then need to run for office. After that, a vote was held to choose the board president. Still, neither Shakib-Mashrafi holds a directorship. Not even a councillor. They are therefore ineligible to run for office in the next presidential election.
There is now no chance for Mashrafe and Shakib, therefore if Papon steps down, one of the present BCB directors will be chosen to serve as president. In the list, Azam Nasir's name stands out the most. Who is now in charge of BCB Vice-President.
But ultimately, everything hinges on the Prime Minister's choice. If Nazmul Hasan continues to lead for the next 1.5 years, it won't come as a surprise. Cricket fans are eager to see Nazmul Hasan or the BCB chairperson take the seat.
