Bangladesh’s first Test captain, Naimur Rahman resigned from his position as the director of Bangladesh Cricket Board on Wednesday (September 4). However, Naimur served as BCB director on three terms but he had to resign before completing his latest term due to the unrest situation in the country, considering the BCB’s association with the previous ruling party Awami League as well.

“I am resigning for personal reasons,” Naimur told Cricbuzz on Wednesday. “I would like to thank BCB for giving me the opportunity to work in different positions during the past decade. I have thoroughly enjoyed working here and appreciate all of the opportunities the Board had given me as chairman of BCB’ Cricket Operation and High Performance Unit,” he said.

“I tried my level best to contribute as a former national captain for the development of cricket in Bangladesh. Apart from that I would also like to thank the councilors who elected me as their representative to the board,” he said. “If BCB requires me in future I would love to work for Bangladesh cricket again,” he further added.

However, apart from Naimur, Jalal Yunus and Shafiul Alam have also resigned from their posts. There was a huge change in the BCB after the arrival of former national captain Faruque Ahmed, who is currently running the board as BCB president after Nazmul Hasan’s resignation in late August as well.
