I'm glad Pak decided on the 11th hour not to issue NOCs. Was kind of expected. This has made the job very simple for BCB to send an unequivocal NO to tour them. BCB has been pathetic so far when all they had to say was NO right from the onset. I know Lota did his typical dirty stuff.
I for one don't think BPL will lose any gloss at all. Infact, this is a blessing in disguise for many additional young BD cricketers to showcase their talents and gain valuable experience -assuming more youngsters will play for different sides now. I think Pak cricketers are the real losers here. Not only they could have earnt some serious money but, also, an apportunity to make a name for themselves. What really would take the gloss away from BPL is the way they have dealt with players (unpaid) salaries and continuing on with their pathetic unprofessional ways. Nothing else.
