BCB starts to pay BPL dues of local players

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 Tk 2.10 crore (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.
