Former Bangladesh captain Minhajul Abedin is set to take a powerful new role in the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) soon. Actually, the final candidate list was released on May 25, and Minhajul Abedin is all but confirmed to become a BCB director in the upcoming BCB elections.
The former Bangladesh skipper has been involved with cricket administration for many years after retirement. Minhajul has already worked with the national selection panel for over a decade and also served as Bangladesh’s chief selector.
Because of his long experience inside the system, he is now seen as a key figure within the Bangladesh Cricket Board. Minhajul is currently part of the BCB’s ad-hoc committee as well.
The BCB Election Commission announced the final list of candidates and confirmed that only two candidates remain from the Chattogram division in Category 1 after Shariful Islam pulled out of the election race. Since there are two director posts available from the division, both Minhajul Abedin and Moin Uddin Chowdhury are expected to become directors unopposed.

The former Bangladesh captain is also excited to share all the experience he has gained over the years to help the game grow further in the region and country.
Minhajul Abedin promises to revive Chattogram cricket after becoming Bangladesh Cricket Board director
Minhajul was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz: “It's a great privilege to join BCB as a director but along with that my responsibility increased a lot. After retirement I joined the board and worked in different capacities and now will try to share those experiences in the board room. Since I am from Chattogram, I will try to revive Chattogram's cricket. Regional cricket first started in Chattogram and we will try to revive regional cricket again.”
Meanwhile, the BCB Election Commission has confirmed that the elections are scheduled to take place on June 7, but voting will now happen only in a few divisions where multiple candidates are still in the race.
In Category 1, elections will only be held in the Khulna and Barishal divisions. In Khulna, three candidates — Shafiqul Alam, Shantanu Islam, and Mohammad Abdus Salam — are fighting for two available director seats. On the other hand, Barishal will witness a direct battle between Muntasir Alam Chowdhury and Mizanur Rahman for one position.
Several other candidates have already been elected unopposed. From the Dhaka division, Syed Bin Osman and S M Abdullah Al Fuad have secured the director position, while Abdul Qayyum Chowdhury has been selected from Sylhet. On the other hand, Mirza Masud Amin and Mir Shakrul Alam Simanto will represent Rangpur and Rajshahi, respectively.
