There has been a change in power in Bangladesh cricket. Farooq Ahmed has now become the new president of Bangladesh Cricket Board. He has replaced Nazmul Hasan in this position in BCB. The decision to appoint Farooq Ahmed as the new president was approved in a meeting held in Dhaka on 21 August. Farooq Ahmed's roots in cricket may have been connected to Bangladesh. But, due to this game, he has also had a relationship with India and Pakistan.

Farooq Ahmed's connection with Pakistan

Farooq Ahmed's roots with Pakistan are connected from his birth itself. Actually, he was born at a time when Pakistan and Bangladesh were not divided.

He was born in Dhaka 5 years before the partition in 1971. After this, when he started playing cricket for Bangladesh, the first team he faced in international cricket was also Pakistan. Farooq Ahmed played his first match against Pakistan on 29 October 1988.

Hence the relation with India

Now the question is what is Farukh Ahmed's connection with India? Farukh Ahmed played only 7 ODIs for Bangladesh between 1988 and 1999, in which he played the only ODI against India in Chandigarh on 25 December 1990. In this ODI, he played an innings of 57 runs, which was the biggest innings of his ODI career.

Farukh Ahmed scored 105 runs in 7 ODIs for Bangladesh with a modest average of 15.

Before becoming BCB President, he was Chief Selector twice

Farooq Ahmed, who has become the new president of Bangladesh Cricket Board, has been the chief selector twice before. He was the chief selector from 2003 to 2007. After that, he was the chief selector of BCB from 2013 to 2016. Farooq Ahmed had to resign without completing his second term.

Farooq Ahmed has replaced Nazmul Hasan as the President of Bangladesh Cricket Board, whose resignation was certain after the uproar against the Sheikh Hasina government in Bangladesh.

Currently, it is reported that he is living in London. The Bangladesh cricket team is currently on a tour of Pakistan. It is playing a series of 2 Test matches there.
