Former Bangladesh captain Aminul Islam Bulbul has been elected president of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).

He has replaced another former captain Faruque Ahmed. 

Bulbul was elected as the 16th president at the meeting of board of directors on Friday (May 30) afternoon.

Bulbul has left his job at the International Cricket Council (ICC).

A BCB official confirmed the matter to risingbd. 

Bulbul joined the BCB as a representative of the National Sports Council (NSC). 

Popularly known as Bulbul, Aminul's name was etched in country's cricket folklore for being the 'maiden Test centurion'. He hit that century in his debut Test against India in 2000, which was also Bangladesh's maiden Test. He has played for the national team for more than a decade. 

Wearing national jersey, he played 13 Tests and 39 ODIs. After saying goodbye to international cricket in 2002, he started coaching in the country. Later, he settled down with his family in Australia.

Aminul has held various positions in the ICC and ACC for more than a decade.
