“There is nothing like that (selectors will have to be members of the national team),” Nazmul told reporters at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. “I will be busy with my election (parliamentary election) but after the 8th (January), I will return and following my return, there will be a board meeting where we are expecting to make a call on the selectors,” the BCB president was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
“The change is a natural process because they (selection panel) have been around for a long time. People say a lot of things (about the selection panel) but why they are saying this, they don’t know. But it seems all the national selection panel will be responsible for everything,” he added further.
Former Bangladesh skipper Mohammad Ashraful interested in post but BCB members against it
Interestingly enough, the former renowned Bangladesh batter and skipper Mohammad Ashraful was keen to contest for the post of the national selector. However, during the press meeting when a board member was asked about his interest in the selection panel, he said that most of the board members did not want him in the set-up due to his tainted match-fixing saga in the past. Moreover, he also added that most members think that his activities are far more unacceptable than another former skipper, Shakib Al Hasan.
When the BCB chief was asked about Ashraful’s ambitions, he said that he chimes in with the opinion that the rest members of the board think the former player has the right to try for it but there will be a committee that will take the final decision regarding the selections.
“We have a committee and that committee will submit names (for the selection panel). They will see who are interested and what their preferences are and later have a discussion with the board and after that, we will select. To be honest, it is difficult to say who will come but if anyone wants to, he can express his interest and there is no problem with that,” BCB top brass Nazmul Hasan concluded.
