In the aftermath of Bangladesh's disappointing World Cup performance, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) investigation committee has taken a distinct approach, choosing to extract valuable lessons rather than assigning blame. Despite three months passing since their formation, the committee is yet to meet with team captain Shakib Al Hasan.

 

While the cricket world's attention has shifted to India's successful ODI and T20 series against New Zealand, the BCB investigation committee, formed on November 29, continues its deliberations. The committee, consisting of three members, including BCB director Mahbub Anam, aims to present crucial insights in their upcoming meeting.

 

BCB officials, fueled by a disastrous World Cup campaign, initially pledged drastic measures, sparking numerous meetings and discussions involving players, coaches, and selectors. However, the current approach emphasizes learning points rather than punitive actions.

 

Mahbub Anam stated, "We haven't reached any conclusions yet. The board has asked us to present any lessons we've learned from the World Cup failure in our next meeting." Despite the committee's activities and accountability checks, team captain Shakib Al Hasan, a pivotal figure, has not had the opportunity to meet with them, raising uncertainty about whether he will get a chance to provide explanations.

 

In response to queries about the delay, Anam added, "Several players and individuals are currently occupied with other commitments." The committee's formation follows a pattern in BCB's history, where investigation committees are often established to address tournament failures. However, skepticism looms among fans, questioning whether this committee's findings will result in tangible changes and whether the investigation will ever be made public.
