Khaled Mahmud has resigned from his position as Director of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) ahead of the Test series against India, following significant political changes in the country. Mahmud, who served three terms after being elected in 2013, played a pivotal role in Bangladesh cricket, notably overseeing the U-19 team's victory in the ICC U-19 World Cup in 2020. His resignation is part of a broader trend, with several other board members, including former president Nazmul Hassan and directors Jalal Yunus, Shafiul Alam Chowdhury, and Naimur Rahman, also stepping down. The recent departures signal a significant restructuring within the BCB, prompted by a recent political upheaval in Bangladesh. Mahmud's tenure included multiple roles, such as interim head coach and game development chairman, but was also marred by controversies linked to his various positions within the board. As Bangladesh prepares to face India in a two-match Test series starting September 19, the team is coming off a strong performance, having swept Pakistan 2-0 in their last series.
