The government’s investigation committee made its recommendations during a press briefing at the sports ministry, where they spoke in detail about their findings about the BCB elections. The National Sports Council’s sports director Mohammed Aminul Ahesan said that they had to dissolve the BCB’s elected body due to evidence of “irregularities in the election process”. He also said that they have informed the ICC about the appointment of an ad-hoc body that will run the board for the next three months.
“The NSC reviewed the report of the investigation committee, following which it has come to the conclusion that there were significant weaknesses and irregularities in the election process for the formation of the current BCB board of directors,” Ahesan said. “In that context, the NSC has already emailed the ICC about the decision to dissolve this committee. At the same time, the formation of an 11-member ad hoc committee has also been announced. The ad-hoc committee will be obliged to present an elected committee within the next three months. At the same time, it will be empowered like an elected committee to manage the normal activities of cricket for the same period.”
Ahesan said that the sports ministry is within its laws to dissolve the BCB’s board of directors. He cited Section 21 of the NSC Act 2018 in which the government has the power to appoint an ad-hoc committee to dissolve an executive committee if there are necessary grounds for such a decision.
