BDCricTime, one of Bangladesh’s most influential digital sports platforms, reached a historic milestone by crossing 10 million followers on Facebook, marking a defining moment in the country’s digital cricket media landscape. The achievement was celebrated with a special event held on Wednesday, December 17, at a renowned restaurant in Mirpur, attended by leading figures from Bangladesh cricket, media professionals, and members of the BDCricTime team.
The celebration was graced by Aminul Islam Bulbul, President of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, who attended the program as the chief guest. Former Bangladesh national team captains Khaled Mashud Pilot and Mohammad Ashraful were also present, along with journalists, media personalities, and employees of BDCricTime. Their presence reflected the strong connection the platform has built within the country’s cricketing and media community.
Launched in 2015, BDCricTime began its journey as a social media–based cricket page driven by pure passion for the game. Over the years, it gradually expanded its coverage, focusing on timely updates, responsible reporting, and fan-centric storytelling. What started as a modest initiative has now evolved into one of the most-followed digital cricket platforms in Bangladesh, with millions of readers and viewers engaging with its content every day. Reaching 10 million followers is widely regarded as a rare and significant achievement for a cricket-focused media outlet in the country.
Speaking at the program, BCB President Aminul Islam Bulbul congratulated the platform and emphasized the responsibility that comes with such a large audience.
“Congratulations to BDCricTime on reaching 10 million followers,” he said. “Starting from one and reaching ten million is not easy. Well done to the founder of this platform, Md. Jabed Ali. With this growth comes responsibility. Ten million viewers need to be guided towards understanding cricket in the right way.”
He further highlighted the broader role digital platforms play in shaping cricket culture in Bangladesh.
“I would request BDCricTime to continue portraying positive and objective news. Cricket culture in Bangladesh will depend greatly on platforms like yours. People’s mindset will be influenced by what you show and say. This should always be positive. Along with match news and achievements, grassroots cricket, women’s cricket, age-level cricket, and cricket education should also be highlighted.”
BCB Grounds Committee Chairman Khaled Mashud Pilot praised BDCricTime for its contribution to digital sports journalism and employment generation, while reflecting on the platform’s consistency and growth.
“What BDCricTime has achieved is inspiring,” he said. “Positive news, easy access to information, and consistency have helped the platform grow. I hope to see BDCricTime reach even bigger milestones—perhaps one billion followers—in the future.”
Founder and Editor-in-Chief Md Jabed Ali expressed heartfelt gratitude to guests, colleagues, and followers for their continued support.
“The journey started with a simple passion for cricket. Reaching 10 million followers today is a blessing. This achievement belongs to our readers, viewers, and the entire team who have worked with honesty and commitment. We are grateful for the love and trust we have received over the years. We will continue to work responsibly and focus on positive, meaningful cricket content in the future.”
During the event, BDCricTime presented a commemorative photo frame to BCB President Aminul Islam Bulbul as a token of appreciation. Certificates of appreciation were also awarded to employees in recognition of their contributions to the platform’s growth. The evening concluded with a buffet dinner, making it a memorable celebration of digital success, responsibility, and the future of cricket media in Bangladesh.
