In the meantime, Faruk Ahmed, a former international player, was named the new president on Wednesday during a board meeting in Dhaka.

Due to the impact of student protests across the nation, which ultimately led to the overthrow of Sheikh Hasina’s government, Nazmul Hassan’s resignation was widely expected.

Nazmul was an elected member of the Parliament and a member of the Hasina-led Bangladesh Awami League.

He was selected by the government and became the president of BCB in 2012. He was elected president the next year. He has now been honoured to hold the position of elected president of BCB three times in a row.

As part of the ICC World Test Championship, the cricket team from Bangladesh is currently playing two Test matches against Pakistan (WTC).

The toss for the opening Test was postponed because of a damp outfield in Rawalpindi. The match was supposed to begin earlier this morning.

The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium’s outfield has damp patches that the umpires discovered as a result of overnight rain.

At 11:00 am (6:00 GMT) there will be another ground inspection by South African umpire Adrian Holdstock and English umpire Richard Kettleborough.

But as the sun emerged and the stadium was enveloped in a clear blue sky, the likelihood that play would begin before lunch increased.
