Isn't the contract paid on a pro rata basis? As in, you get paid according to how many matches you play? Or was that just in the BPL?
In any case, Shakib, with all his endorsements, national contract, etc. will never have a problem with financial security.
Mot kotha holo, the IPL will not make him a legend of the game. If he, through the dint of his batting, bowling or both can win us test matches abroad against the best sides - then he will be remembered as a legend of both BD and world cricket when he retires. To do that he has to play in those conditions more!
