WCA Slams BPL on Non-Payment Issues
Foreign Cricketers Affected
A total of 15 cricketers from the last edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (£BPL) have complained about non-payment, amounting to approximately USD 250,000.
Franchise Accountability
One franchise that participated in the last edition but is not participating in the upcoming season owes around USD 100,000 to its players.
New Teams and Returning Franchises
The upcoming edition of the BPL will see the return of Chittagong Kings after an 11-year hiatus and the addition of two new teams, Dhaka Capitals and Durbar Rajshahi.
BPL's Troubled Past
The non-payment of players has been a recurring issue in the BPL, with players' payments always being a problem under the previous leadership of Nazmul Hasan.
New Leadership's Challenge
The newly elected board president Faruque Ahmed will have to tackle this issue in his first edition of the BPL, which is scheduled to start on December 30.
Efforts to Resolve Non-Payment Issues
The World Cricket Association (WCA) and the Cricketers Welfare Association of Bangladesh (CWAB) are working to resolve the non-payment issues.
