BCB Election Schedule

Composition of the BCB Board

The BCB’s Board of Directors will be elected through the votes of councillors. According to BCB regulations:

• 171 councillors exist in total.
• 76 councillors are elected from clubs in Dhaka.
• Of the 25 board members, 12 come from club cricket.
• 10 members are elected from divisional and regional levels.

Following the election of board directors, the BCB President will be selected through a vote among the elected directors.

This election has seen several prominent figures announce their candidacy for director positions:

• Tamim Iqbal – heavyweight candidate; likely to contest for BCB President.
• Current President Aminul Islam Bulbul – heavyweight candidate seeking re-election as President.
• Former President Faruk Ahmed – may contest against the above candidates.

The stage is now set for a highly competitive BCB election, which could potentially reshape the governance of cricket in Bangladesh.
