Exasperated sighs, brooding stares, and hands on hips were perhaps the common responses as people tuned into the state-run BTV channel late afternoon on Sunday.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed said they are going through a ‘tough time’ after failing to sell media rights for the Bangladesh-Zimbabwe Test series and thanked the BTV for stepping in to telecast the first Test in Sylhet starting tomorrow.
Every year, the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) begins with unwavering commitments from authorities to make it even more competitive than the previous years.
Faruque’s comments indicate that Liton Das, who previously captained Bangladesh in three T20I matches against the West Indies, could be a frontrunner for the T20 captaincy role.
BCB president Faruque Ahmed spoke on diplomatic ties with cricket boards and BCB’s stance on senior players after Bangladesh’s group-stage exit.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed said the board can’t take responsibility for the alleged non-payment of Pakistan legend Shahid Afridi.
The decision-making process, in particular, as well as the outcomes, often relating to simple issues, are commonly shrouded in mystery, most of it done unnecessarily.
After quite a bit of dawdling, the BCB president remarked yesterday that they are communicating with the franchises so that players receive their payments.
Bangladesh Cricket Board president Faruque Ahmed hoped that players will get their money from the franchises in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is set for an important meeting on Wednesday with many important discussions to be held. The board is currently operating without any standing committee since Faruque Ahmed took charge of the BCB presidency following the resignation of Nazmul Hassan Papon.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) are yet to ascertain whether all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will feature in Bangladesh’s three-match ODI series against Afghanistan, starting on November 6, in the UAE.
Although none of the allegations against Hathurusingha are neither based on recent incident and nor directly linked to the Tigers’ on-field performance, Faruque claimed that their stern decision was based on re-assessing the reports given by a three-member special committee -- formed on November 29 last year -- tasked with scrutinising the underperformance of the Tigers in the mega event held in India.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed has made a meal manoeuvring the removal of national team head coach Chandika Hathursingha.
The board said in a statement that the 61-year-old former West Indies batter Simmons has reached an agreement to work with BCB until the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan next year.
Hathurusingha was suspended due to two factors: misconduct against a player during last year’s ODI World Cup in India and an extended period of leave.
Bangladesh Cricket Board president Faruque Ahmed expressed his hope that Shakib Al Hasan will be able to retire from Test cricket during the two-match Test series against South Africa at home later this month.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed said that the board is incapable of doing anything regarding premier all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan’s safety concerns when and if he arrives in the country.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed has clarified that former skipper Tamim Iqbal's recent visit to the BCB office was just a casual visit and that Tamim had gone there as a player and not in any other capacity.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed said he was thrilled by Bangladesh’s current pace attack in an impromptu press conference after the winning bonus handing over ceremony for the national team at the Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel today, going against the board’s own directive that there would be no media interaction at the event.
