Imago Sports Management

Imago Sports Management is a Bangladesh-based talent and sports-management agency founded by Tamzidul Islam, Quazi Sabir, Ahmed Raqib, and Rejwan Uz Zaman. The organization operates across athlete representation, sports consulting, event management, sponsorship and marketing programs, and initiatives intended to broaden participation in Bangladeshi sport. Its most prominent institutional role has been in cricket. Imago has served as the overseas players management partner for the Bangladesh Premier League and, since 2015, has conducted the league's player-draft event. It has also been identified as an official player-management partner of the Bangladesh Cricket Board for the Bangladesh Premier League. Through its consulting activities, the agency works with corporations on marketing and sponsorship programs and with leagues and franchises in Bangladesh. The agency's athlete-management activities have covered Bangladeshi and international sportspeople. The athletes associated with Imago include Bangladesh national-team cricketers Mahmudullah Riyad, Mosaddek Hossain, Shahriar Nafees, and Mashrafe Mortaza; footballers Rohan Ricketts and Mamunul Islam; professional golfer Siddikur Rahman; gymnast Syque Caesar; and wheelchair cricketer Mohammad Mohasin. The available reference material does not establish the current status of every representation relationship. Beyond conventional commercial sports management, Imago has participated in projects connected with inclusion, grassroots development, and public engagement. In 2016 it launched Bangladesh's first wheelchair-cricket tournament in association with the Wheelchair Cricketers Welfare Association-Bangladesh. The event brought together 36 wheelchair cricketers, including participants from outside Dhaka, and provided many competitors with their first experience of a formal competitive sports match. Imago was also the sole management partner for the Masters' Cricket Carnival-Bangladesh, an annual tournament involving former national and first-class cricketers. The 2016 edition was held in Cox's Bazar and Dhaka. In road racing, the agency worked with Everest Academy to organize the Dhaka Women's Marathon, described in the reference material as an all-women's marathon intended to mark International Women's Day and promote a safer Dhaka for women. The 2017 event was a 10-kilometre race at Hatirjheel with more than 500 participants. Another initiative, Sports Hub Bangladesh, was created as an annual conference for sports-governing-body personnel, sports professionals, organizers, athletes, journalists, students, and enthusiasts. The first conference, organized by Imago on September 23, 2017, addressed sports marketing, club and franchise management, sports journalism, and Bangladeshi football. It also included a sports-business idea competition for university students and attracted more than 400 participants. Imago's positioning therefore combines professional sports representation and league services with event production, sponsorship consulting, and sports-development programming. Publicly available reference material provides limited information about its legal structure, financial performance, current leadership, headquarters, and present-day operating scale.

Imago Sports Management emerged as a Bangladeshi sports agency established by Tamzidul Islam, Quazi Sabir, Ahmed Raqib, and Rejwan Uz Zaman. The available public account does not specify the company's founding year, legal history, ownership structure, or headquarters. Its activities indicate an emphasis on professional sports administration and the commercial development of sports in Bangladesh. A central part of Imago's history has been its work with cricket. Since 2015, the agency has conducted the Bangladesh Premier League player draft and has served as a management partner for overseas players participating in the competition. It has also been described as an official player-management partner of the Bangladesh Cricket Board for the Bangladesh Premier League. In parallel, Imago has advised corporations on sports marketing and sponsorship and has worked with Bangladeshi leagues and franchises. The agency has represented or managed athletes from several disciplines. The publicly identified roster includes prominent Bangladeshi cricketers Mahmudullah Riyad, Mosaddek Hossain, Shahriar Nafees, and Mashrafe Mortaza, as well as footballers Rohan Ricketts and Mamunul Islam, golfer Siddikur Rahman, gymnast Syque Caesar, and wheelchair cricketer Mohammad Mohasin. The source material does not provide dates for individual representation agreements or confirm which relationships remain active. Imago also developed projects outside mainstream professional league operations. It was the sole management partner of the Masters' Cricket Carnival-Bangladesh, a tournament for former national and first-class cricketers. The 2016 edition took place in Cox's Bazar and Dhaka. In the same year, the agency worked with the Wheelchair Cricketers Welfare Association-Bangladesh to launch what was described as Bangladesh's first wheelchair-cricket tournament. Thirty-six players participated, including 25 from outside Dhaka, giving many wheelchair users their first opportunity to compete in an organized sports match. In partnership with Everest Academy, Imago organized the Dhaka Women's Marathon. The event was presented as an all-women's race associated with International Women's Day and the goal of supporting a safer Dhaka for women. The 2017 edition took place at Hatirjheel and drew more than 500 participants to a 10-kilometre course. Mirona Khatun of the Bangladesh Navy won that edition in 52 minutes and 18 seconds; 110 participants completed the race in under 90 minutes. Imago's Sports Hub Bangladesh initiative extended its work into sports education and industry networking. The first conference was held on September 23, 2017, and brought together sports administrators, professionals, organizers, sports personalities, marketers, students, and enthusiasts. Sessions covered sports marketing, club and franchise management, sports journalism, and Bangladesh football. A sports-business idea competition for university students followed the sessions, and the event reportedly attracted more than 400 attendees. Taken together, these activities position Imago as a hybrid sports-services organization: it manages athletes and overseas-player logistics, supports professional leagues and franchises, produces sporting events, develops sponsorship and marketing programs, and promotes participation through inclusive and educational initiatives. The available reference material does not document later corporate developments, revenue, staff expansion, acquisitions, or a change in operating status.
