BCB is definitely heading towards professionalism and taking very right decisions.
Here's what I have proposed

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) did not discuss issues like picking a coach for the Tigers or on the selectors during a meeting at a conference hall in Gulshan last night.With Bangladesh cricket team being handled by interim coach Shaun Williams, the need for some semblance of decision on the appointment of a coach was not even in the agenda. The issue of a new selection committee was also not an agenda for discussion, surprisingly.
Among the agendas, sprucing domestic cricket was on top of all discussions. It was decided that Tk 10,000 would be provided to each player for playing a four-day match and Tk 5,000 for the limited-over match in the National Cricket League, informed BCB general secretary Mahbub Anam
All the divisional teams will be provided with coach, physio and trainer and each side will get at least three weeks of preparation time. The facilities would be high standard added the general secretary.
Around Tk 20 lakh would be the total prize money with the champions expected to get half of it.
Mahbub also informed that GrameenPhone will continue to sponsor the Bangladesh national team for the tour of Sri Lanka only.
Meanwhile, the under-19 team will play a triangular series in Sri Lanka against the hosts and India, and play four one-dayers in Malaysia in July-August. The academy team will tour Darwin, Australia in August while the women's team will play two warm-up matches in Thailand en route to Malaysia for the ACC Cup in July.
The top umpires of the country will be brought into the board's payroll.
