BPL-2 General Discussion - Page 5

ReZ_1 · #**101** January 3, 2013, 12:16 AM

Sylhet Royals owner Nafeesa Kamal talked regarding the matter of Pakistani cricketers NOCs (No-Objection Certificate). As the seven franchises will begin their training camps from the second week of January, with foreign players expected to start arriving from January 4. If the PCB is to give NOCs (No-Objection Certificate) for the BPL, the BCB would prefer them soon because a pull-out would require the governing council and Game On Sports, BPL's event management firm, to host a closed-door auction. In that case, it would throw the tournament into chaos, a scenario that is a major concern for the owners.

Nafeesa said: She believed that in the event of a pull-out, the franchises will not have enough players to fill those vacant spots. "Not having Pakistan players is definitely a concern and I think we should be informed soon about their status. If the BPL - Bangladesh Premier League plans to hold a closed-door auction in the event of their unavailability, we will be left with very few good options."

According to cricbuzz PCB won't release their players. At least thats what they are hinting toward. I think at this point BPL waitig around for PCB to respond is just wasting time. If BPL wants to make sure that tournament goes on no matter what they need to act now. We better not postpone/cancel our tournament because of them, that would just be plain stupid and embarrasing.

Hamlafan · #**105** January 3, 2013, 09:24 AM

^^ I guess PCB waiting for the last moment to say we won't release players

M.H.Rubel · #**106** January 3, 2013, 09:40 AM

All the players play for money. BPL is not giving bad amount to the PAK players. So I have a feeling that most of the players will join the tourney any how. Just few may miss it.

I saw in newspaper today that Abdur Razzak is already in Dhaka.

Equinox · #**108** January 3, 2013, 12:20 PM

^What's he doing in BD three weeks before the BPL? Is he maybe captaining DR this time around so he's familiarising himself with the local players?

roman · #**109** January 3, 2013, 12:40 PM

^DR management requested Razzaq to come to BD. He will be there for 2 days and will come back by 2nd week of January--- As per Ittefaq

Khulna stadium doesn't have floodlights. Only day matches will be held there probably.

Hamlafan · #**112** January 4, 2013, 05:33 AM

How about Sylhet ^?

reyme · #**116** January 7, 2013, 01:34 AM

We are just 10 days away...hardly any activities yet! No news on coaching staff, media, team sponsorship etc....was much much better situation last year!

captainBD · #**117** January 7, 2013, 03:52 AM

Now i see a different fixture

Whats wrong? I thought the BPL GC are gonna arrange it much better than last time? There is no declaration about the prices of the tickets!

Maysun · #**118** January 7, 2013, 04:57 AM

We have games in Khulna as well? Suhweet!

Any plans for a BCB G2G this BPL?

Jadukor · #**119** January 7, 2013, 05:01 AM

Seems like BPL 2 will have even more problems than the last edition

Hamlafan · #**120** January 7, 2013, 05:10 AM

could possibly be true!

Hamlafan · #**122** January 7, 2013, 05:27 AM

if BPL has Tait, Nannes, Lee, Gul, Zunaid = Decent pacers compared to last year.

Hamlafan · #**123** January 7, 2013, 05:45 AM

Confirmed Pacers for BPL per Facebook: Tait, Nannes and Thomas. pretty good

300 seems a bit more, 250 seems fine enough.

Nevertheless, I wonder how the ticket sellers are gonna know that i am a student/airtel user?

And that means airtel is one of the sponsors/distributors? Smart way to attract customers. And how many can one person buy?
