MUMBAI: Nizam Uddin Chowdhury Sujan, the general manager of Bangladesh Cricket Board, has been appointed as the acting chief executive officer following the sudden demise of BCB CEO Manzur Ahmed.
Ahmed, who was also a former national cricketer, had passed away on 10 January in Dhaka just days before the players auction for the Bangladesh Premier League, a franchise based T20 league, which he was officially expected to participate.
Chowdhury has previously performed the role of acting CEO of BCB from February 2008 to August 2010 and represented the cricket board in ICC?s Chief Executive Committee from 2008-10 and the Asian Cricket Council Executive Board as an ex-officio member.
As the acting CEO, Sujan will have his task cut out with almost just two weeks left for the inaugural edition of the BPL. The league will be held from 9-29 February.
