Former Bangladesh cricket captain Tamim Iqbal launched fierce criticism against BCB president Aminul Islam Bulbul during Sunday's press conference. Tamim demanded fair elections after meeting with the sports adviser about election integrity concerns. He expressed frustration over government interference at district and divisional levels across the cricket board. The former captain highlighted serious irregularities in the councillor nomination procedures that violated established protocols. Election commission formation occurred on September 6, yet deadline extensions happened without proper authorization.
Tamim accused Bulbul of unilaterally extending nomination deadlines from September 17 to September 22 without consulting other directors. The president allegedly formed ad-hoc committees that contradicted constitutional requirements for nomination processes. Tamim questioned how Bulbul could issue detailed election directives while claiming ignorance about election procedures. He emphasized that cricket belongs to all 180 million citizens rather than specific political groups. Tamim urged authorities to maintain the September 17 councillor list without further modifications.
