Aminul Islam, Bangladesh's former national skipper, has replaced Faruque Ahmed as the president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), on Friday (May 30). BCB officials confirmed the development to Cricbuzz. He will be the 16th president of the board.

"Our respected directors of the Cricket Board have elected me as the Board President. I received that call from the Honorable Sports Advisor. I was honoured. Now, I have received an even bigger responsibility," said Aminul.

"We want to take Bangladesh cricket forward. I believe cricket is not played by just eleven players - it's played by the whole of Bangladesh. I hope we all play as one team. We've done it before - that's why we've played Test cricket for 25 years, won the U19 World Cup, and seen our women's team win the Asia Cup. We can aim even higher. We have the potential to achieve more. We are the Bangladesh team, and we all support our team.

"Let's work together to take Bangladesh cricket to greater heights. Once again, I thank all the directors of the Bangladesh Cricket Board. I also congratulate the two newly elected Vice Presidents - Fahim Sinha and Nazmul Abedin Fahim. This is the team we've formed, and we want to move forward with this team. Let's not talk too much - I want to focus on working more. We have plans, and to implement them, we seek your support," he said in his interaction with the media.
