Pillow passing goes on

4-member body formed to convince the clubs

Sports Reporter
After the Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM) failed to take a decision regarding the resumption of Dhaka Premier League after three days, Bangladesh Cricket Board president AHM Mustafa Kamal too could not convince the big two, Abahani and Mohammedan Sporting Club, on the fourth day as the league remained suspended.
Instead, the BCB yesterday set up a four-member committee to convince all three clubs including Victoria Sporting Club to return to the league which has not seen light since March 28, the second round of the Super League phase.
The BCB chief formed the committee which will be headed by senior vice-president Mahbubul Anam with
Dewan Shaflul Arefin, Gazi Ashraf Hossain and Siraj Uddin Md Alamgir being the other members. According to a BCB press release, the committee will sit with the CCDM and the clubs concerned and work towards a positive solution within the next 24 hours.
This decision was taken during the board of directors' meeting at BCB's Mirpur headquarters after the CCDM passed the buck to the highest decision-making authority to end the impasse, which began when Abahani, in protest of Mohammad Yousuf's move to Victoria from Mohammedan, refused to play against the former in their game at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.
"It's a big matter and all three parties need to sit in one table. We have decided to form a party with four directors and they will sit with them tomorrow (Monday]," Kamal told reporters.
"I have already spoken to Abahani, Mohammedan and Victoria, but couldn't make them sit all together. I am leaving the country tomorrow but I hope they [the committee members) will be able to reach a solution," said Kamal.
Kamal said that the claim of Mohammad Yousuf of not getting clearance or having it will also be decided when the committee members meet today with the clubs." CCDM is saying he got the clearance while others are saying he didn’t All these things will be resolved when all the three clubs sit together with committee," said Kamal.
It has been a terrible season for CCDM after they hurriedly demoted Surjo Tarun for being late for a league game by 15 minutes when they clearly were held up in a long tailback near Savar EPZ where an accident had taken place. After the incident took place, the league was suspended by the CCDM on February 1; BCB director GS Hasan Tamim quit his post as CCDM chairman the same night. After all twelve clubs vehemently protested the stoppage, the league resumed on February 5.
According to sources, this instance of passing the buck and shirking an important decision, the height of amateurism within the BCB has once again come forth. Like the CCDM which is mired by power games by the club officials, it has left both bodies, supposedly independent in policy-making for the country's cricket, ineffective.
