In a recent move, former Bangladesh captain Khaled Mahmud has resigned from his position as Director of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Mahmud, 41, served as an elected member for three consecutive terms, starting with his first election in 2013. He resigned before completing his current term, which was due to end in 2023. His resignation comes amid political changes in the country, following former BCB president Nazmul Hassan’s exit, according to Cricbuzz.
During his time at the BCB, Mahmud played a key role in the growth of Bangladesh cricket. As chairman of the game development committee, he oversaw the Bangladesh Under-19 team’s victory at the 2020 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. He also served as an interim head coach and team manager for the national team, contributing in various capacities to the sport’s administration and progress.
Mahmud’s departure is part of a broader shake-up within the BCB, with other directors such as Jalal Yunus, Shafiul Alam Chowdhury, and Naimur Rahman also resigning.
