The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is set to hold its elections on June 7, 2023, as announced by the board's election commission. During this election, 23 of the 25 board directors will be elected by the councillors, and the new BCB president will be selected from this group to serve a four-year term. Currently, Tamim Iqbal, a former captain of the Bangladesh national team, serves as the BCB president under a government-formed ad-hoc committee and is expected to oversee the elections. The previous elections, held in October 2025, were criticized due to findings of 'serious abuse of power' by an investigative committee. This year’s elections will feature a draft voters' list that was published recently, with the final list expected to be available soon. Candidates will be elected across three categories: ten from divisions and districts, twelve from Dhaka clubs, and one from a group of former cricketers and nominated councillors. The government will also appoint two additional directors to the board, ensuring a comprehensive representation in the BCB.
