He didn’t elaborate why he suddenly needed the board president to make the decision about his future.  “We will form the new committees on December 24, and we will decide if Akram will continue as the chief of the cricket operation or not. Currently, he is working as the head of this committee on an interim basis,” Nazmul added.  It’s understood that after the T20 World Cup debacle of Bangladesh, the board was overlooking Akram in many ways.
