Bangladesh Cricket Board president Aminul Islam remains stoic in the face of adversity. He has decided to continue in his role despite the immense pressure from a government investigative committee. The board is being investigated for its elections last October, why it pulled out of the 2026 T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, and whether or not it's politically influenced and practices favouritism.Bangladesh's Litton Das, centre, appeals successfully for the wicket of Pakistan's Hussain Talat during the first one day international cricket match between Bangladesh and Pakistan in Mirpur, Bangladesh, Wednesday, March 11, 2026. (AP Photo/Mahmud Hossain Opu) (AP)Bangladesh ushered in a new government in February, and since then, the BCB has been under the pump. Many of its members have since been investigated, and some of them have put in their papers. But Islam, who represented Bangladesh in 13 Tests and 39 ODIs, is not going to do that.

What else can I do? I will be the last person to go," Aminul told Jamuna TV."I have a very good, dedicated and honest team [in the BCB]. I want to serve Bangladesh cricket with this team."Nobody is indispensable. I was the only [Bangladeshi] to work in the ICC. I am not saying I am something huge, but I am sitting here because of my experience. I left everything to be here to support my country. If this is no longer mine, I will look at another path. But I want to support my country," he added.Islam, who scored a century in Bangladesh's first Test ever against India in Dhaka in 2000, also revealed that he had not met any members of the investigative committee for one reason or another.

Trouble In Bangladesh Cricket? BCB President Says "What Else Can I Do?"
Aminul Islam Bulbul has reflected on his future as Chairman of the Bangladesh Cricket Board.© AFP Aminul Islam Bulbul has reflected on his future as Chairman of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) amid an ongoing overhaul of the country's governing body. Despite pressure from a government investigation committee, Aminul has decided to continue in his role, remaining committed to serving Bangladesh cricket. Media reports suggest Aminul's regime could soon end, with former captain Tamim Iqbal emerging as the leading contender for the BCB presidency. The board is currently under investigation for controversial elections held last year and the reasons behind the team's refusal to travel to India for the 2026 T20 World Cup.Aminul remains adamant about staying on despite the reported resignation of six board members. "I will sit in my chair. What else can I do? I will be the last person to go," Aminul told Jamuna TV. "I have a very dedicated and honest team. I want to serve Bangladesh cricket with them.""We could not work with freedom for one day as an external force was always disturbing us and still doing that. You should support us and you know who I am meaning because without support we cannot move forward. Our cricket is stagnant and I have said a lot of times that an external force is disturbing us and because of that the pace of our cricket has slowed down," he added.Resentment is growing in cricket corridors following Aminul's expressed inability to convince interim-government head Muhammad Yunus to allow the team to travel to India. The investigation committee is set to present its findings on April 9."It will be interesting to see Bulbul's position once that report is tabled," a source noted. "An interim board may take over, with re-elections held within 90 days. All eyes are also on the Foreign Minister's upcoming visit to Delhi."(With PTI Inputs) Featured Video Of The Day Tushar Deshpande's Brilliant Final Act Ensures Thrilling Win For RR Over Gujarat Titans Topics mentioned in this article
