The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) came up a statement today that they will take decision on director Lokman Hossain Bhuiyan at their next board meeting, reports BSS.

Lokman has recently been arrested with unauthorized liquor at his home after the law enforcers busted a casino in the club he runs. During the raid, police had seized two roulette tables, and nine betting boards from the sports organization. They also found 12 walkie-talkies, knives, and money counting machines. BCB President Nazmul Hassan in his immediate reaction said he is “surprised” that Lokaman had never spoken about the casino at Mohamme­dan Sporting Club in Dhaka.

A Dhaka court on October 6 has sent Lokman Hossain Bhuiyan to jail, rejecting his bail petition in a case filed under the Narcotics Control Act.

BCB media committee chairman Jalal Yunus said that in the wake of the situation Lokman’s matter will be tabled up in the next board meeting.

”Our board president cleared the air about Lokman Bhuiyan earlier and if he is found guilty he will be punished,” Yunus said here on Monday.

”We are waiting [for the outcome of Lokman] and later the board will take decision regarding him. In our next board meeting we will discuss about him,” he said. According to BCB’s constitution, Bangladesh Cricket Board’s General Council, Board of Directors and Salaried Employees, Players shall remain active in upholding the reputation of Bangladesh’s cricket.
