After taking on the role of President of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) for the first time, Aminul Islam Bulbul initiated efforts to decentralise cricket across the country. The BCB President was seen personally visiting various regions to take part in numerous cricket-related activities. Bulbul also announced the establishment of regional BCB offices throughout the nation.
Now, the BCB President has declared a new initiative — the organisation of the Bangladesh Cricket Conference, aimed at bringing together cricket-related individuals from all corners of the country under one platform.
In a video message released by the BCB, President Bulbul stated,
“Cricket is spread across all 64 districts of Bangladesh and across eight divisions. We want to get to know everyone involved in Bangladesh cricket — our stakeholders such as district cricket presidents, district sports officers, district cricket coaches, and women entrepreneurs. We wish to bring everyone under one roof to understand what Bangladesh cricket needs, how the Bangladesh Cricket Board can assist everyone, and how we can collectively advance the sport of cricket in our country by ensuring the involvement of all.”
Bulbul announced that the Bangladesh Cricket Conference will be held in Dhaka on 9 and 10 November.
“At the end of the day, we all want to play cricket and enjoy cricket in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Cricket Conference will be held in Dhaka on the 9th and 10th of November. I hope we can make this conference a success, enrich Bangladesh cricket through it, get to know one another, and begin a new journey from this event,” he added.
Bulbul further stated,
“The organisers of cricket in Bangladesh are scattered across the country. By bringing them together under one roof, we can share the vision and mission of Bangladesh cricket with everyone. Through this, we aim to bring out the best in each participant, learn from each other, and find ways to support and advance Bangladesh cricket. That is precisely why we are hosting the Bangladesh Cricket Conference.”
He also emphasised the importance of spreading and promoting cricket across various districts and sub-districts of the country:
“To understand the purpose and vision of Bangladesh cricket, we must first know what kind of cricket is being played in the districts and sub-districts. Listening to their experiences and determining how much support we can provide from Dhaka is essential. Once we assess the current strengths at the district and sub-district levels, we can bridge the gaps that exist. Through this, we will strengthen relationships, promote the game, and collectively move cricket forward — allowing everyone to take joy in the sport.”
