Following the finalisation of the election schedule for the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) board of directors, renewed discussion has emerged within the country’s cricket community. The election is scheduled to be held on 7 June, as announced in the official election timetable released on Saturday. The deadline for submission of councilorship nominations was 5:00 pm on the same day.
