Conflict in BCB: What form of cricket is this!
If Dr. Bhupen Hazarika were alive, he might have been embarrassed by the events unfolding in Bangladesh's sports arena! The renowned artist's song "This world is a playground," which includes the line "sports is a field of peace," does not seem to apply at all in the 149,210 square kilometers of this land. The National Sports Council (NSC) recognizes over 50 sports federations, but the message in that famous song by the Indian artist has not been established anywhere. This has already become evident in other sports federations, and now it is glaringly apparent in the recent events surrounding the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).

Why sports journalists struggle to reach media's top tier
In a conversation in 2007, I heard Shafik Rehman say, "Many of you may not know, but I was once a sports journalist." The former editor of Jaijaidin newspaper had a chapter in sports journalism that I hadn't learned much about. It is known that in Bangladesh, there aren't many examples of rising from sports journalism to the top tier of the media industry. Mustafa Mamun, the editor of Desh Rupantor, was once a prominent sports journalist. Similarly, it has been noted at times that Matiur Rahman, the editor of Manabzamin, also had a background in sports journalism. Whether there are still any examples of people climbing the ladder from sports journalism to the highest level in the media today is unclear. On the occasion of World Sports Journalists Day, efforts were made to understand why the rate of advancement from sports journalism to the top tier of the media is lower compared to sub-editors or specialized reporters in other fields.
