On Friday, May 30, 2025, former national team captain Aminul Islam Bulbul took charge as the new president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Elected through a vote by the board of directors, Bulbul, in his first press conference, stated, “I feel like I’ve come to play a quick T20 innings. I want to play an innings that everyone will remember.”
Dismissing rumors of a three-month tenure, Bulbul clarified, “I am an elected president. I haven’t come for any specific timeframe.” He is set to serve as president until the BCB elections in October. His remarks suggest a goal to bring swift, positive changes during this period.
Bulbul further added, “A Test match lasts five days, an ODI seven hours. I want to play a short yet impactful T20 innings.” At a time when Bangladesh cricket faces various challenges and transitions, his experienced leadership could bring renewed hope for cricket fans.
