On the same vein, I think PSL would be successful because they have someone like Haroon Logart being the adviser and they will learn how to handle issues from other leagues.. Yes, IPL had payment issue( not issues) because it was only Deccan Chargers who didnt pay a player or two due to bankrupcy proceedings and eventually BCCI auctioned the franchisee to new owners. But whats happening in BPL is just outright unacceptable and a shame to all Bangladeshis and cricket fan. Franchises are running without any management team; BCB is completely ineffective in applying any pressure on them, owners writing bounced checks (i.e., to Tamim) without any ramificaitons and the list goes on..
Irony is even Chittagong's PCL ( Port City League) did not face such complaints and the complete tournament was in UAE with 200 plus players, coach, staff etc. expenses. Again, it was done by some experienced and hard-core sports organizers instead of some trading company and stadium shop owners pretending to be high-flying Indian business tycoon..
