Khaled Mahmud resigns as BCB director ahead of India vs Bangladesh Test series

Former Bangladesh cricket team's skipper Khaled Mahmud has reportedly stepped down from his post as the Bangladesh Cricket Board director ahead of the Test series against India. A top official from the Bangladesh board has confirmed the development to Cricbuzz. 

Mahmud served as the BCB director on three terms but resigned before completing his third term at the office due to the political change in the country. Before him, the former body president Nazmul Hassan had stepped down. Mahmud had



defeated Gazi Ashraf Hossain in the election in 2013. 

In Mahmud's tenure, Bangladesh had won the U19 World Cup in 2020 by defeating India in the final. Apart from the director's role, Mahmud had served as the BCB's game development chairman for several years and was also the interim head coach of the team. 

Notably, it is learnt that a few other board directors have decided to step down from their roles including Shafiul Alam Chowdhury and Naimur Rahman among others.
