So we have come today to complain formally,\u2019 said Tamim, representing Gulshan Cricket Club.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The most surprising thing is 50 out of 76 clubs voiced their objection that the election was not held in the right way. \u2018So that proves many things,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Abahani and Mohammedan are the two biggest clubs in Bangladesh. They are also unanimous in this regard. So if the 50 clubs agree to this, I don\u2019t have anything new to say,\u2019 he further said.<\/p>\n<p>The clubs have been raising their voices, citing the last BCB election and its elected president, Aminul Islam, as illegal. They have also been boycotting various domestic leagues.<\/p>\n<p>That put the forthcoming Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League under serious uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We want to return to the field. We have been away from cricket for a long time now. That\u2019s why we [want to solve this] in a democratic way. We hope that will happen, as democracy has returned after many years,\u2019 said Masuduzzaman, the chairman of the cricket committee of the Mohammedan.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from Tamim and Masud, director of Mohammedan Lokman Hossain, former BCB director and councillor of Surjotorun Club Fahim Sinha, Rafiqul Islam of Indira Road, and Ziaur Rahman of Bangladesh Boys were also present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Former Bangladesh national cricket team captain Tamim Iqbal speaks to media on Sunday. |&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":812926,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[24953,24952,24950,24947,24949,1406,24946,24951,24948,24944,79,24945,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-812925","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-bangla-online-news","9":"tag-bangladesh-latest-news","10":"tag-bangladesh-news","11":"tag-bangladesh-newspaper","12":"tag-bangladeshi-newspapers","13":"tag-cricket","14":"tag-daily-new-age","15":"tag-latest-bangladesh-news","16":"tag-most-popular-outspoken-english-daily-newpaper-in-bangladesh","17":"tag-new-age","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-the-new-age","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116195395325791951","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=812925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812925\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/812926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=812925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=812925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=812925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
