DHAKA, July 18, 2022 (BSS)-Amendment of the constitution to form the much-
talked regional cricket association and changes in councillorship will be the
important topic to be discussed as Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will hold
the Annual General Meeting (AGM) tomorrow (Tuesday) at a local hotel in the
city.

Forming the regional cricket association is given priority before every
elections of the BCB but that exactly was never materialized. This time
Nazmul Hassan Papon-led BCB is determined to bring it in the table.

To create a regional cricket structure, the BCB constitution needs to be
amended, said media and communications committee chairman Tanvir Ahmed Titu.

"If we have to want to form regional cricket structure, we must first bring
amendments to the constitution. Nothing about regional structure was in our
cricket constitution, if the constitution is not changed then nothing new can
be formed. Therefore the approval of the AGM is required," he said here
today.

"The constitutional amendment proposal to form a regional structure in the
AGM will be brought tomorrow, (if) it is approved by the AGM, there will be a
detailed discussion on how the regional structure will be formed and how it
will work (later)," he added.

There is also another important issue - that there may be changes in
councillorship. Earlier, the BCB president had hinted at cutting the
councillorship as the six clubs, who move to the Super League of Dhaka
Premier League (DPL) enjoy two councillorship. Titu said that a proposal will
be made in the AGM tomorrow accordingly.

Basically, the whole year's activities, budget and various projects are
approved in the AGM.

"In fact, the activities that are held throughout the year are submitted in
the AGM for approval. And there is matter of approval of the previous AGM.
Approving the budget is the other thing and that's basically the main issue.
There are many minor issues related to this which have to be presented in the
AGM," Titu revealed.

The last AGM was held in 2021 before the BCB elections. As there was an
election, there was a different heat about it. The first AGM after the
election was not discussed like last time but the BCB is going to bring
several important proposals in the table.
