FORMER Bangladesh captain Khaled Mahmud has resigned from his position as Director of the Bangladesh Cricket Board on Wednesday. A top board official confirmed the development to Cricbuzz.
Mahmud, who won the election against Gazi Ashraf Hossain in 2013, served as BCB director on three terms, but had to resign before completing his latest term, largely due to the political change in the country that has had a ripple effect on the affairs of the Board after former president Nazmul Hassan stepped down.
Mahmud served as BCB’s game development chairman for many years before, and in his tenure, Bangladesh Under-19 team won the ICC Under-19 tournament in 2020.
Apart from that, he also served as interim head coach of Bangladesh’s national cricket team, as well as team manager on different occasions.
Apart from Mahmud and Nazmul, several other board directors also decided to step down from the post, including Jalal Yunus, Shafiul Alam Chowdhury and Naimur Rahman among others. (Cricbuzz)
