He was 56 at the time of his death. The Board extends deepest sympathies to the family of Shamsul Islam Babu.
A veteran cricket organiser, Babu was a member of the BCB Grounds Committee. He was the founder president of Dhaka Second Division League club Gopibagh Friends Association and was also the club’s representative in the Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM) of the BCB.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is the governing body for cricket in Bangladesh. It joined the ICC in 1977 and became a full member in 2000. The BCB oversees Bangladesh’s men’s, women’s, and under-19 national teams.
