It happens.. Hodge knows that very well, Mushfique doesnt. Sri Lankan players were not paid for 7 months, Zimbabwans didnt get their WC money,,, I mean even ICL players got their money years after, if they did. Besides $$ payment do require lots of clearance by the government. The offcials had to pay for the plane fair, hotel costs, food, clothing etc. I didnt see any player wearing a torn jersey with duct taped name on their body...
One thing Mushfique forgot is that BCB did get the Bank gurantee about the payments and they did confirm that players will be paid duly in the event Franchises fail to do so. This was announced before the auction started by BCB's Mahbub Anam.
