Bangladesh Cricket Board cricket operations chairman Jalal Yunus resigned from his post and submitted his resignation as a board director to the National Sports Council on Monday.
Jalal, one of the two directors, alongside Ahmed Sajjadul Alam Bobby, was nominated to the cricket board by the NSC.
‘I have resigned as director for the greater good of cricket,’ Jalal told the media on Monday. The NSC will now nominate a new director as a replacement for Jalal.
Meanwhile, Sajjadul reported that the NSC secretary had contacted him on Monday morning and asked him to resign from his position.
‘I told them I was nominated at the cricket board by the NSC. If they have taken a decision regarding me, they should just inform me,’ he said.
Earlier, sports adviser to the ministry of youth and sports Asif Mahmud had said that they are in contact with different stakeholders to solve the crisis at BCB.
Several BCB board directors, including president Nazmul Hasan, have gone into hiding since the fall of the Awami League government in the face of mass protests.
It has been reported that the BCB president wants to step down from his position.
Former Bangladesh captain and chief selector Faruk Ahmed is likely to be nominated by the NSC to replace Jalal in the board of directors, which would make him eligible to get elected as the new president once Nazmul resigns.
