Nazmul Hasan Papon, elected as a Member of Parliament from Kishoreganj-6 Constituency in the 12th National Parliament Elections, has become a four-time MP and the president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). As Papon takes on a cabinet position for the first time, questions arise about his ability to continue as BCB president.
The government's circulated list of full ministers includes Papon's name, indicating his new role. However, discussions ensue regarding whether he can effectively carry out his duties as BCB president while holding a ministerial position. An unnamed influential BCB board director asserts that ministerial responsibilities do not interfere with the duties of the BCB president, citing past instances of ministers concurrently serving in the position.
Notable politicians such as Anisul Islam Mahmud, Mostafizur Rahman, and Saber Hossain Chowdhury have successfully balanced BCB presidency with ministerial roles. The decision for Papon to continue in both capacities ultimately rests on his personal choice, as per the constitutional process where the BCB president is confirmed with the approval of directors elected by the councilors of the board.
Addressing recent media speculation, Papon himself mentioned that he does not plan to remain in charge of the BCB for an extended period.
