BCB starts to pay BPL dues of local players

DHAKA: The BCB has started to make payments on Sunday to local players who have dues from BPL franchises. According to board directors, the sum to be paid this time is around approx. $270,000 to about 70 cricketers.
BPL governing council chairman Afzalur Rahman Sinha said the payments were made by the BCB after the franchises failed to give the players their due money. The governing council had asked BCB director Naimur Rahman to investigate the players’ dues and draw up a list for payment. It remained unclear whether this is the full payment for the local players who were unpaid for more than two years.
Mushfiqur Rahim, Tamim Iqbal, Mashrafe Mortaza, Mohammad Mithun, Sohag Gazi, Sabbir Rahman, Alok Kapali, Nazmul Hossain, Anamul Haque, Nazmul Hossain Milon and some other cricketers were seen entering the BCB offices in Mirpur, and an hour later some of them were seen walking out with cheques in hand. Only Anamul showed any sign of relief as he did a little celebratory jig.
