Ishtiaque Sadeque resigns as BCB director

Ishtiaque Sadeque, on Saturday, resigned as a director of the Bangladesh Cricket Board. The BCB's game development committee chairman tendered his resignation to cricket's governing body in the country, citing family reasons for his decision.

"It is true that I am resigning. I believe that I am unable to dedicate the time required for such a large community like Game Development, where I am currently serving, because of my family and personal commitments. I cannot provide the effort necessary to accelerate Game Development. For this reason, I feel a personal sense of regret that I am not doing justice to this position. That is why I am resigning from here," Ishtiaque told Cricbuz on Saturday.

"The claim that I am leaving because of any misunderstanding, relationship issues with anyone on this board, or due to any hurt feelings or grievances, is completely false. Everyone who was with me tried their best in their own way," he said.

"I believe that whoever succeeds me in Game Development will be able to take Bangladesh's cricket forward. They have my full support. Even though I will no longer be on the board-I mean, they will have my complete support. Thank you very much, " he added

Ishtiaque, as one of the closest ally of Aminul, came to the board during the last election. It remains to be seen if his resignation will follow the walking out of some other directors as well.
