Bangladesh’s tour to India is in doubt as the players went on a protest against the board and announced that they will not return to the game until the demands were met.
The senior players like Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan attended the press conference to make their case.
The following are some of the demands:
– Dhaka Premier League, the premier domestic tournament in Bangladesh, should not have salary cap
– BPL should be conducted in franchise-style instead of the revised BBL-type format. Recently the board had decided to do away with the franchise-based format after a fallout with the franchises, and turn to the Big Bash League model.
– Local players should have remuneration equal to foreign players.
