Aminul Islam Bulbul has been ousted as chairman of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) following allegations of corruption stemming from the elections held in October 2025. The National Sports Council (NSC) dissolved the BCB and established an ad-hoc committee, headed by former captain Tamim Iqbal, to oversee operations until new elections are conducted. Bulbul has vehemently denied the corruption claims, labeling the investigation report submitted on April 5, 2026, as 'defective' and 'whimsical.' He asserts that his election was legitimate and has lodged a complaint with the International Cricket Council (ICC), arguing that the NSC's actions constitute a 'constitutional coup' and violate ICC regulations concerning government interference. The controversy is further complicated by a prior incident during the T20 World Cup, where government advisor Asif Nazrul allegedly prevented the national team from competing in India due to a personal dispute regarding a player.
