The BCB executives will meet on Sunday to shape Bangladesh's position on the proposition to gap Test cricket into two levels, which is set to be talked about at the ICC's yearly gathering in Edinburgh in the not so distant future.
Bangladesh are ninth in the Test rankings, above just Zimbabwe, and will no doubt be in the second level if the framework is embraced in 2019 as per the ICC's proposition.
ESPNcricinfo has discovered that the BCB will attempt and gage whether the ICC will have a part in shaping the FTP under the two-level framework, or whether schedulling will be left to respective transactions as it is at present. The BCB feels that Bangladesh could be powerless against a lack of Tests in the second level under the present arrangement of schedulling, and might want an ensured number of matches - against top-level groups as well - to guarantee they have a possibility of advancement.
Be that as it may, not all in the BCB are persuaded that those speaking to the board at the ICC would set up a battle to stop the two-level framework from being actualized.
"The correlated inquiry that must be asked to the BCB president and Chief is whether the BCB raised any recommendations, corrections or recommendations when Shashank Manohar had requested that all individuals give sees on the FTP," BCB executive Ahmed Sajjadul Alam, one of three executives to restrict the Huge Three proposition to rebuild of the ICC in 2014, told ESPNcricinfo.
Alam was of the conclusion that open enthusiasm for Bangladesh cricket, alongside that of telecasters and backers, would diminish if the ICC embraced the two-level framework. "The fate of worldwide cricket for Bangladesh will be repulsive," he said. "As of now we now need to fit the bill for ICC occasions like the 50-over World Container and World T20. On the off chance that we don't meet all requirements for these two ICC occasions, and in the meantime remain a second-level [Test] side, enthusiasm among general society, media, supporters and patrons will be extraordinarily decreased.
"We are confronting a gigantic misfortune, and we are doing it without offering a battle. Before long world cricket will do a reversal by quite a few years to the time when the Supreme Cricket Gathering used to run the appear, with only six or seven groups playing cricket and groups like Bangladesh sitting tight in the sidelines for gifts."
Tanjil Chowdhury, another BCB chief who contradicted the Huge Three's proposition two years prior, said the board ought to be centered around guaranteeing more matches as opposed to increasing more cash. "I think the BCB will take a choice that will best serve Bangladesh cricket," Chowdhury said. "Two years prior when the Enormous Three thought of the position paper, the BCB acknowledged it since they ascertained that they would get more noteworthy income stream. Why does the BCB require more cash? I think they have all that could possibly be needed. I would need to get however many matches as could be expected under the circumstances."
Chowdhury said the two-level framework wouldn't take cricket forward in light of the fact that he felt extending the quantity of groups would weaken Test cricket. "I am against the two-level framework that is being proposed. I think it will pull cricket improvement in reverse. Comprehensiveness doesn't work at the recreations' premium level, which is Test cricket."
The two-layered framework was initially mooted in January 2014 as a component of the Huge Three's recommendations - that groups positioned ninth and tenth in Tests would play the Intercontinental Container. That would have practically ruled out Bangladesh to play any more Tests against the main eight nations. Bangladesh's Test chief Mushfiqur Rahim was the main dynamic player to condemn the proposition.
