Unhone bola, “Jaise selection committee koi out-of-form player ko nahi chunegi, waise hi humare liye bhi hai.” Yani, Faruque ke time mein cricket ka level down ho gaya, aur isiliye yeh step liya gaya. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) mein mismanagement aur cricket ke overall scene mein kami ke wajah se yeh faisla liya gaya.
National Sports Council (NSC), jo sports bodies ko dekhta hai, ne Faruque ka director nomination wapas le liya. BCB ke rule ke hisaab se, president ek elected director hi banta hai, toh is wajah se Faruque ki presidency chali gayi. Yeh sab tab hua jab board ke 9 mein se 8 active directors ne no-confidence motion pass kiya, kyunki unko Faruque ke kaam se shikayat thi. BPL ke dauraan paise ke hisaab-kitab mein gadbad aur bura management bhi iski wajah bana.
30 May 2025 ko BCB ne ek Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) mein former captain Aminul Islam Bulbul ko naya president chuna. Bulbul, jo 2000 mein Bangladesh ke pehle Test match mein khele the, ab board ko sambhalenge. Unki experience se logon ko ummeed hai ki woh cricket ko behtar karenge. Meeting mein Nazmul Hassan Papon jaise bade log bhi the, jo pehle BCB president reh chuke hain.
Mahmud ne kaha ki NSC ka kaam hai sports mein accountability rakhna, kyunki cricket Bangladesh mein dil se juda hai. Faruque ke time mein, jo October 2023 se shuru hua, grassroots programs, domestic matches, aur international level pe Bangladesh ka cricket aage nahi badha. Isiliye unko hataaya gaya. X posts aur news se bhi pata chalta hai ki kuch log isko political move bol rahe the, par Mahmud ne kaha ki yeh sab performance aur stakeholder feedback pe based tha.
Ab Bulbul ke haathon mein BCB hai, aur log ummeed kar rahe hain ki woh BPL ke management ko thik karega, players ke development pe kaam karega, aur Bangladesh cricket ko duniya mein mazboot karega. Yeh move dikhaata hai ki sports mein ab performance hi sab kuch hai, aur jo deliver nahi karega, usko side hona padega.
