Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Aminul Islam Bulbul's three-member Advisory Committee has attracted a lot of criticism as the nomination of its members has not been in line with the board's constitution. It was the president's preference in appointing advisors for unconventional and even unprecedented roles that raised questions. Hospitality industry specialist Shakawath Hossain, sports media analyst Syed Abid Hussain Sami, and legal expert Shyikh Mahadi formed the committee, a BCB press release confirmed on Thursday. Clearly, none of the above motives tackles the issue that was shown as the main cause for the removal of the previous BCB president, Faruque Ahmed. Bulbul's latest move raised questions -- but more importantly, what it did was hide the progress regarding the pressing issues, which ultimately should have been the main focus of the newly appointed board president.
