The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), led by its ad hoc committee under Tamim Iqbal, has initiated the process for the next board elections by approving the formation of a three-member Election Commission.

According to a BCB press release issued on Monday, one member of the commission will be nominated from either the Ministry of Youth and Sports or the National Sports Council (NSC), while the remaining two members will be appointed by the board.

The board also announced that a notice inviting nominations of councillors from all categories, including Category 1, will be issued shortly in accordance with Article 12.7 of the BCB constitution.

The previous board, led by Aminul Islam, had formed Regional Cricket Associations in several divisions before its tenure ended on April 7 amid allegations of irregularities during the October 6 elections last year.

The BCB has now decided to dissolve the ad hoc committees of the Regional Cricket Associations in Chattogram, Sylhet and Barishal with immediate effect.
