Minhajul Abedin Nannu, Habibul Bashar Sumon and Abdur Razzak have been working as selectors of the Bangladesh national cricket team for a long time. Where Nannu was serving as the chief selector. BCB has suspended Nannu in Monday’s board meeting. Former BCB director Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu has been given new responsibility.
After the board meeting on Monday, BCB President Nazmul Hasan Papon confirmed the news of Lipu’s inclusion as the chief selector to the media. He told the reporters, ‘Who will be our national selector ie the chief selector, it was a very important issue. This took more time. Considering many things, we selected Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu.’
Nannu’s panel expired on December 31. After that their tenure was extended by special approval. Nannu has been serving as the chief selector of the national team since 2016. Before this, the former captain of the national team was a member of the selection panel of BCB. After the failure of the World Cup, the board showed no interest in renewing the contract with Nannu. Finally, after the BCB board meeting, this former cricketer had to pull the responsibility of 8 consecutive years.
Lipu, who was appointed as the head of the selection panel, was also on the board before this. This former BCB director was the team manager of the national team in Bangladesh’s first World Cup in 1999. He was the head of the BPL Governing Council along with the Chairman of the Cricket Management Department. The former captain of Bangladesh has become the chief selector.
Like Nannu, Bashar has been in the selection panel since 2016. He has also been suspended. However, Abdur Razzak remains in his previous position. Bashar was replaced by Hannan Sarkar, an age-based party selector. The old committee will serve until the end of February. And the responsibility of the new committee will start from March. Razzak-Hannan will serve under the leadership of Lipu for the next two years.
