Dhaka, May 22 (UNB) – The members of the Bangladesh Cricket Board have given a positive indication about reconstitution of the country’s cricket.

Bangladesh Cricket Board president Saber Hossain said the members had a productive meeting today (Monday), and they took unanimous decision about appointment of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the apex body, the first step towards the planned restructuring.

“We are discussing about CEO’s terms of reference and responsibility”. The CEO will report to board and coordinate with different committees, the chief of the Cricket Board told after the meeting.

The Chief Executive Officer will look after three areas - Finance & Accounts, Administration and Operation.

“We have got a lot of applications and a final decision will come after the Asia Cup,“ he said.
