Former Bangladesh cricket captain Aminul Islam has been appointed as the new president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, replacing Faruque Ahmed amid political changes in the country. The 57-year-old was selected by BCB directors on Friday and will serve until October.
"This is a new high for me," said Aminul, who is widely known as "Bulbul" and led Bangladesh in their first World Cup appearance in 1999.
