Dhaka: A two-member International Cricket Council (ICC) delegation that visited Bangladesh earlier this week will present its findings and observations to the global governing body following a series of meetings with key stakeholders.
According to an ICC media release, Directors Dr Mohammad Moosaji and Tavengwa Mukhlani have engaged with several stakeholders to review the latest developments related to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).
The pair arrived in Dhaka on June 1 and held discussions with BCB’s members, including interim committee chairman Tamim Iqbal. They also met the representatives of the Election Commission of PCB as the elections are scheduled to be held on June 7.
The delegation also met former and present BCB directors in separate sessions. Some of the resigned former board members participated in the discussions, while acting directors Asif Akbar and Ahsan Iqbal Chaudhry also met ICC representatives in a separate meeting on June 2.
After the meetings, former Bangladesh captain Aminul Islam, who served as the BCB president till April, said the delegation was urged not to approve any election held under the authority of the ad hoc committee on June 7 or any other time.
He also said that the ad hoc committee should revise the press release issued on May 31 regarding the ICC visit.
Meanwhile, the Bangladesh High Court has dismissed a writ petition challenging the legality of the election schedule and voter list for the upcoming PCP elections.
A bench comprising Justice Bhishmadev Chakraborty and Justice MD Aship Hasan passed the order saying that the petition was not properly presented to the court.
The petition was filed on May 18, more than a month after the country’s sports ministry dissolved the BCB board of directors on April 7 and appointed an 11-member caretaker committee headed by former captain Tamim Iqbal on the same day.
