On April 7, 2023, Aminul Islam Bulbul was removed from his position as president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) by the National Sports Council (NSC). This decision comes in the wake of a significant controversy during the T20 World Cup, where Bulbul was criticized for his inaction when former interim government advisor Asif Nazrul held the national team hostage, preventing their travel to India. Bulbul's leadership faced backlash, leading to the resignation of six BCB directors. In his place, former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal has been appointed to lead an 11-member ad-hoc committee, which is responsible for managing the board's operations and organizing elections within the next 90 days. The NSC has communicated this decision to the International Cricket Council (ICC), although the ICC typically prohibits external interference in board matters. However, it is expected that the ICC will not impose sanctions on the BCB, given the timeline for the elections.
