Shaheen, Mahbub in war of words

Sports Reporter
The newly elected executive committee of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had vowed to run a smooth domestic season tills year. However, signs are that the power struggle within could spell some serious trouble in die coming days as was evident in the chaos surrounding the season's curtain raising tournament, the Corporate Cricket League.
TWo sides Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel and BGMEA informed the organisers on the second day of the three-day players transfers on Monday that they will not take part indiecompetition.Thelastmomcnt withdrawal made the tournament committee chairman Shah Nurul Kabir Shaheen MR who is also a vice-president of the board, furious and the BNP lawmaker from Mymensingh directed all his wradi towards the Board's general secretary Mahbubul Anam blaming him for the disorder.
"Mahbub is responsible for diis farce. I took the charge only on Sunday after returning from Sri Lanka and in my absence he took all the decisions in the first meeting of the Corporate League. As chairman of the cricket operations committee he handled everything," said Shaheen at the BCB’s stadium office while the transfers were going on.
"1 don't understand how Sonargaon Hotel was invited to
participate. I wonder whether he had any personal interest. Most of the teams only verbally confirmed their participation. By making a late change in the national pool, he also hurt the Beximco authorities who
have even threatened to pull out of the Corporate League," said Shaheen.
Shaheen however assured that there was no uncertainty regarding holding the 12-teamlcague.
"One team (Banglacat) confirmed their entry today and we will wait till the last day of the transfers. We are not bothered with the number of teams and that’s why there is

no uncertainty but the league might start a day earlier that the October 5 schedule."
When contacted an aggrieved Mahbubul Anam pointed his finger at Shaheen and his committee members for the current situation.
"I was requested by him (Shaheen) to chair the first meeting. If there is anything wrong his committee is responsible for that. One should understand his position before making such kind of comments," said Mahbub over telephone from Colombo.
"There is written evidence that all the participating teams had agreed during the meeting to play in the league. It is not my duty to look after the matter when there is a full committee under the leadership of a vice-president," headded.
