BCB president Tamim Iqbal on Thursday, during a press conference at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, informed that they are not interested in hosting the Bangladesh Premier League this year. When they host the franchise league again, that too remains uncertain, as BCB's priority is to address the tournament's financial difficulties.
"I have said it a few times that I don’t want to organize the BPL this way. One thing has to be said again. In one tournament, for the last two years, BCB has incurred losses of around 40 Crore Taka (3.13 crore Indian Rupees),” Tamim told reporters on Thursday.
Something is going wrong: Tamim Iqbal, BCB president on BPL
"Franchise cricket is supposed to make money for the Bangladesh Cricket Board. Not lose money; something is going wrong. Until and unless we fix the issues, it is not absolutely important for us to host this event every year,” he said.
Will BCB host BPL this year?
Furthermore, Tamil Iqbal stated that they will not host the franchise league until they resolve the matter. When is the matter expected to be solved? Iqbal provided no timeline. As the BCB shared no timeline for the league's next season, the tournament's future will remain in jeopardy until the cricket board takes a u-turn in the future.
Communications with the franchises have already started to settle the financial issues. Iqbal stated the issues are related to missed payments and bank guarantees.
"We have started communication with the franchises. The issues involving those who defaulted have to be settled. The issues of missed payments and bank guarantees are being looked at step by step. We will organise the BPL only after taking the BCB to a profit-making position,” he said.
