The BCB boss, who holds the dubious record of ducking a board-sponsored programme at the eleventh hour, also made a surprise announcement during an unscheduled bout with the reporters after the final.

"I think your first question will be when the board meeting will take place. Let me assure you that the next board meeting will be held in the first week of January," said Asghar after being faced with a volley of questions over some burning issues that he has not addressed yet.

Asghar had earlier promised to hold an emergency meeting in the second week of this month after the resignation of his joint-secretary Reazuddin Al Mamun following allegations that the board president had struck a secret deal with Malaysia-based Aston Moore over future sponsorship and TV rights.

"I hope you will get your every question answered after the board meeting. I have already instructed my general secretary (Mahbubul Anam) to solve certain outstanding issues like forming the remaining standing committees," said Asghar.

He also admitted things were not going in the right direction after the August election that saw the board suffer financial loss both domestically and internationally. The Premier League started without sponsor on Monday.

The BCB boss also expressed his disappointment at the postponement of the Asia Cup.

"We were supposed to earn at least two million dollars from the meet. I will talk to the new Indian board president (Sharad Pawar) within a week and raise the matter along with the issue of our long-pending tour of India," he added.
