At last Barisal
Burners and Sylhet Royals have signed the two-party agreement with the Bangladesh
Premier League (BPL) Governing Council at the Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB)
headquarters in Mirpur. These two franchises were left to sign the agreement in
the ceremony held in Mirpur.
Other five
franchises who have signed the two-party agreement earlier after a long meeting
between the franchises and the BPL governing council are Dhaka Gladiators,
Chittagong Kings, Rangpur Riders, Khulna Royal Bengals and Duronto Rajshahi.
It seems
that the tournament organizers are trying to complete all the formalities
before the second edition of the tournament that may start on January 17.
However, the cash-rich cricket tournament cannot come out of payment related issue
that had been attached with them as stigma. They are still being haunted by the
nonpayment of the players from the first edition.
Top local
players like Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim and Nasir Hossain have
expressed their doubt about the payment. These two players who were bought by Duronto
Rajshahi and Khulna Royal Bengal respectively last season claimed that they
were not paid their wages in full as the icon player.
It is not
sure what steps will be taken by BPL Governing Council. It is time to see how
long this matter will go on.
