Default We should stop playing BPL unless we prepare proper pitches

BPL is supposed to be a platform for income and showcasing talent. Alright I agree

However, its also the only T20 tournament played in the whole year and all I have seen is a plethora of sluggish wickets and massive boundaries for a T20 league!

T20s are played on flat wickets because they actually prepare players accordingly. On flat wickets batsman can play their slogs and their cheeky shots. Bowlers will use their slower deliveries and bouncers but most importantly their yorkers

But what do we see, bowlers get wicket with length deliveries. Batsman resorting to doing tuk tuk and run hard. This not T20, this doesn't prepare us for the format.We keep underperforming because BPL is not preparing our players accordingly.

Obviously, I won't deny that the entertainment and quality value is low because of the pitches. It also hurts the finances immensely. We have seen the crowds not coming to the stadium seeing poor scores.

Fans want to see sixes, yorkers, outstanding fielding on the boundaries, these wickets don't help our batsman in that aspect.

5-days into the tournament and we have already seen that the same pitch is used for EVERY FREAKING GAME. How about play a match in fatullah! Give the pitches a bit of rest will you? You can even use the MA Aziz. You can play some matches in Khulna

Pathetic curatos, pathetic organizing committe, pathetic batsmanship as well
