League resumes on Sunday

Torun demotion upheld

Sports Reporter
The Dhaka Premier League which was suddenly suspended two days ago following BCB chief Mustafa Kamal's instructions will resume tomorrow.
The board confirmed this last night after an emergency board meeting was called to solve the crisis surrounding the country's most coveted limited overs competition.
"It was decided in the meeting that the Dhaka Premier League will resume from tomorrow but for technical reasons, it may delayed by a day. The board has also upheld the CCDM decision regardingSurjoTorun's demotion,” said BCB media committee chairman Jalal Yunus after a four-hour long heated discussion mainly centered on SutjoTorun's fate.
"The league was suspended because the board wanted to solve the Surjo Torun issue and had a desire for a compromise deal. But finally we upheld CCDM's decision to avoid any kind of legal problems,” added Yunus, when asked the reason behind the suspension of the league.
The chaos started with the expulsion of Surjo Torun Club, who failed to appear at the BKSP in Savar on time in their match against Kalabagan Krira Chakra on Tuesday because of road blockade following an accident near EPZ which killed one garments worker after a bus ran into his bicycle.
This was followed by the resignation of CCDM chairman GS Hasan Tamim after the committee made this decision on Thursday evening; it was also learnt that three directors fought hard to overturn the CCDM verdict considering Surjo Torun's contribution in cricket and a genuine reason behind the delay, but one influential board director won the battle finally.
Sources at the meeting informed that director Ahmed Iqbal Hasan at one stage left the meeting in protest of the decision shouting that he will quit the BCB.
President AHM Mustafa Kamal initially was in favour of overturning CCDM's verdict but he bent due to pressure. "Actually most of the members voted in favour of upholding CCDM'sverdict," saidYunus.
Interestingly, the match referee Samiur Rahman didn't mention "walkover" in his initial report to the CCDM as the Surjo Torun officials had informed him about the situation. But the CCDM didn't go into clause 12.2 of the by-laws which states that an unusual situation will be considered.
In response of a question, Yunus also said that they didn't accept the resignation of GS Hasan Tamim. Hanif Bhuiyan, however, will be acting chairman as Tamim is out of the country. Kamal called this emergency meeting after returning home from Dubai as ten of the twelve participating clubs threatened to boycott the league if the board failed to resume the competition immediately.
