After a long gap of 19 years, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced the revival of the Award Night. The last time such an event was held was in 2006. Since then, the BCB has failed to maintain the tradition. However, the country’s highest cricket authority is now set to bring it back.
On Monday (30 June), during a BCB meeting, the decision was made to restart this award-giving tradition. Usually, these awards are presented at the end of the year to recognize players’ performances across various categories. BCB President Aminul Islam Bulbul announced the decision to organize the Award Night to acknowledge the efforts of cricketers.
In addition to players, the performances of journalists and grounds staff may also be evaluated. The BCB president said,
“We will resume the Award Night. Not just for one year—we’re working on a long-term agreement about how the awards will be given. We are planning for the next 4–5 years.”
He further added,
“This is part of our overall program—‘High Performance for All.’ One of the goals is to boost players’ morale and confidence. We will give these awards to encourage and uplift everyone involved in cricket.”
