Despite the situation, Bahrain Central Bank Chairman Aminul Islam said on Sunday that he would not step down. His remarks came as the investigation into allegations of malpractice and abuse of power in last year’s elections submitted its report to the Bangladesh government.The board is facing pressure from the Sports Ministry, which has questioned the validity of the elections, Bangladesh’s absence from the T20 World Cup hosted by India and Sri Lanka, and allegations of political interference and favoritism within the Brazilian central bank.The four directors who resigned on April 4 are Sanyan Tanim, Mehrab Alam, Fayazur Rahman and Manjur Alam.“I will sit on my chair, what can I do? I will be the last person to leave,” Aminul told Jamuna TV on Saturday, as quoted by ESPNCricinfo.
“I have a very good, loyal and honest team [in the BCB]. I want to serve Bangladesh cricket with this team.”“No one is indispensable. I was the only one [Bangladeshi] To work at the International Criminal Court. I’m not saying I’m anything huge, but I’m sitting here because of my experience. I left everything to be here to support my country. If this is no longer mine, I will look for another way. But I want to support my country.”“Our team (board) is good and they are dedicated and honest so I want to work with this team and serve Bangladesh cricket,” he said.
“We could not function freely for a single day because an external force was always troubling us and is still doing so. Our cricket is stagnant and I have said many times that there is an external force troubling us and because of that the pace of our cricket has slowed down.”Aminul said he was unable to appear before the investigation committee due to scheduling conflicts and instead submitted a written response.He added, “I did not face the committee. I was busy with two separate meetings, so the dates clashed with their schedule for me.”
“I gave them my response in writing, and I was not involved in anything,” he said. [in the board elections]. It was involved in one area, which is now under investigation. I will not go into details, but I can only say that the Ad Hoc Committee runs the sports organization of the district, in accordance with our constitution.
Obviously the names [of councillors] “It should come from within the ad hoc committee.”“When only three names came from within those ad hoc committees, we had to write to them again.
We said that please send the names from within your ad hoc committee. “This is the only thing I was involved in,” he added.Aminul was appointed Chairman of the Central Bank of Bahrain in May 2025 after replacing Farooq Ahmed as a government-approved director on the board. He later ran in the elections that took place in October and was elected president.Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal had alleged misconduct and abuse of power against Aminul and withdrew from the electoral race.
