[tiger_2007]

BCB is getting out of control! MPs from ruling party seem to be controlling Lota Kamal and Co. I am really frustrated as how this bunch of morons will manage the world cup and take BD to the next level.

Good news. A big massacre is needed. A fresh BCB is only possible to come from the ashes of rotten one.

[Rabz]

Just the start.

[FaHiMa]

BCB ----PCB 2.0!

Our best guy is gone ...

disgusting lota and co continue.....

[bujhee kom]

Very sad....this BCB administration under the leadership of the scum Lutus Kamal proved to be the most damaging, most destructive to the agency and to Bangladesh cricket since BD got the test status.

[zman]

This is beyond disbelief! Just so I correctly understand the whole story, the last part of the article states that one of the directors, who has close ties to bal, is very hot tempered and foul mouthed and has such tremendous influence that even Lota Kamal is powerless against him?

[ialbd]

bah chomotkar....

as tiger_2007 said, the whole WC organization is at stake with these ppl in charge. i dont know what new low is there for us to hit. This actually shows where our cricket is at the moment, Academy is given the absolute lowest (if not any) priority (!!!). Where do you expect our cricket to go....

[al-Sagar]

very sad news.... ans looks like its gonna get more sad day by day

[Ajfar]

I really hope these morons don't screw up during the world cups, or we might lose the chance to host the T20 world cup.

[AsifTheManRahman]

As far as I'm concerned, these things are bound to happen in Bangladesh. I wouldn't be too disheartened, because frankly I never would have expected any better. If our cricket has to progress, it has to do so amidst all the politics and lack of professionalism, and it likely will.

The foul mouthed director is an ex footballer from the 70s and 80s. Don't ask for a oroof because none of the meetings and conversations have been taped.

আমার একটা আশঙ্কা হচ্ছে, এই মাতব্বরদের জন্য আমরা বিশ্বকাপ সফলভাবে আয়োজন করতে পারবোনা । এপ্রিল চলে যাচ্ছে অথচ মিরপুর স্টেডিয়ামে ইলেক্ট্রনিক স্কোরবোর্ড,গ্যালা� ��ি রুফ,ফ্লাডলাইট বসানোর অগ্রগতি নাই । পিচের অবস্থা খারাপ । পাইপলাইনে ভালো প্লেয়ার নাই । আকরাম, বুলবুলরা খেলার সময়ই কিন্তু আশরাফুল, আফতাব, নাফিসরা এজ লেভেলে আলো ছড়াতো ; এখন সেরকম প্লেয়ার দেখছি না । যেভাবে রাজনীতি ঢুকছে বোর্ডে তাতে বিএনপি আমলের বাফুফের অবস্থা না হয়ে যায় ।

[Imteaz]

Well Done Lotus Kamal. Your dream is becoming true.

The name of this idiot is Dewan Arefin Tutul. This guy used to be remembered as the Mastan of his area. Unfortunately, he does have immense power and manipulates things his way, direcet blessings from high-ups of ruling party. Whenever, Awami league comes into power, he makes a starnge come back ! He influenced BCB when Saber Hussain was BCB's boss.

I hope this matter will be ended when L.Kamal will resign

BCB hit by resignations
Staff Correspondent

Shakil Kasem, the head of management committee of the GP-BCB National Cricket Academy, stepped down out of frustration on Saturday night, dealing another blow to the activities of the Bangladesh Cricket Board.

His resignation came in less than a week after the media manager of the BCB, Rabeed Imam, quit having been humiliated by the Board officials, who dropped his name at the eleventh hour from the West Indies-bound Bangladesh squad for the ICC World Twenty20.

Former cricketer Kasem took over the charges of the GP-BCB Academy only eight months ago and his resignation came at a time when it has been involved in a home series against South Africa academy side.

Kasem, however, said he will continue in the post until the end of the series.

‘I have submitted my resignation to the chief executive officer of the BCB last night [Saturday]. However, I intend to continue until the end of Academy Cup,’ Kasem told New Age.

‘You can say I have resigned out of frustration. The BCB has not allocated any money to run the routine function of the academy despite my repeated requests. I don’t see any point in occupying a post if I cannot make any contribution,’ said Kasem.

Replying to a question the former cricketer said the money sponsor Grameen-pone gave to the BCB to run the academy is being spent on cricket competitions and training programmes.

‘At the moment we do not have any permanent coach for the academy. There is no equipment in gymnasium and medical and IT centres. I have repeatedly requested the BCB to allocate money for the purposes. But nobody listened to me,’ he said.

‘Many reputed foreign coaches like John Embury and Roger Harper were interested to join our academy as head coach. But I could not speak to them as the BCB did not allocate any money. Recently we were given Mohammad Salahuddin as a coach but now he also has been taken away,’ said Kasem, who was appointed for a two-year period.

Meanwhile, BCB spokesman Jalal Yunus said the resignation may have some link with a recent decision of Board meeting.

‘In our last meeting we decided to reconstitute the management committee of the academy. This may be one of the reasons for his resignation,’ said Yunus, chairman of the BCB media committee.

‘It is also one of the reasons for a delay in budgetary allocation. We were waiting for reconstitution of the management committee,’ he said.

This is what happens when you have semi-literate former mastans turned money laundering crooks running the board. GP money intended for the Academy was siphoned back to their former marketing head now with ATN as "investment" in the NCL T20.

[bdtiger]

Another wicket gone for BCB!! Wonder how many wickets they have!!

[cricket_fanatic]

Absolutely shambolic! It's not just the academy though - under the current BCB regime, there is a very conspicuous lack of attention towards age-level/development squads, in general.

[yaseer]

Another good and efficient person gone.
What Shakil Kashem said in his interview with PA is alarming. This BCB is creating a hole for our cricket and the result will be seen after 5 years from now. We are in great trouble!!

[AK420]

Thats it. Lotus, we shall ------------- you
