Sujon resigns from BCB | The Business Standard
Change is sweeping through the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Several directors have already resigned, and now another name has been added to the list. Khaled Mahmud Sujon has resigned from his position as a director. Since 2013, he has served the BCB in various capacities.
The resignation of the former national team captain has been confirmed by the BCB’s Chief Executive, Nizam Uddin Chowdhury. In addition to his role as a BCB director, Sujon was also the head of the Game Development department.
Sujon joined the BCB in 2013 after defeating the current Chief Selector, Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu, in the elections to become a director. Since then, he has held several roles within the BCB, including national team manager, team director, and interim coach, alongside his director responsibilities.
In his 11-year journey with the BCB, Sujon achieved significant success. Under his supervision, Bangladesh won the Under-20 World Cup in 2020, and he was also involved in the youth team’s recent Asia Cup victory.
Since the change in government, the BCB has seen periodic changes. Jalal Yunus was the first to step down as a BCB director, and Ahmed Sajjadul Alam Bobby, who had been appointed by the NSC, was removed.
Following this, Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel, who was in charge of the women’s department, and Naimur Rahman Durjoy also resigned from their director posts. Now, Sujon has followed suit. Altogether, five BCB directors have lost their positions so far, some stepping down voluntarily, while others were removed.
