"Tamim Iqbal, at 39, becomes the youngest head of Bangladesh cricket, having scored more than 15,000 runs in a 15-year career and remains the only Bangladeshi to score hundreds in all formats of international cricket."
"A letter had been sent to the International Cricket Council stating that a decision has been made to dissolve the BCB committee, with an 11-member ad hoc committee led by Tamim required to hold elections within three months."
"The decision to dissolve the board comes before a goodwill visit to India by Bangladeshi Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman, aiming to rebuild frosty relations, with cricket being a sport beloved by both nations."

This decision comes amid political turmoil in Bangladesh and is linked to efforts to improve relations with India, where cricket plays a significant role in diplomacy.
