Tamim Iqbal has been elected as the president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), succeeding Aminul Islam. The election, held under an 11-member ad-hoc committee led by Tamim, faced criticism for political influence and the presence of ministers' and MPs' relatives. Tamim, addressing the 'Baper Doa' tag, expressed his commitment to focus on cricket's development and restore its reputation.

The election process saw minimal competition, with many directors elected unopposed. Tamim secured the highest votes in Category-2, while Category-3 saw Sirajuddin Mohammad Alamgir elected without contest. The new board faces the challenge of implementing recommendations from a previous investigation into election irregularities.

Tamim outlined his vision for a high-performance center, discussing plans with the Australian firm Populus. He hopes to start construction soon with government support, aiming to create a self-sufficient facility for cricket development.
