Who is behind the player exodus?

[Miraz]

I understand current BCB should take the major share of the blame due to their inactivity and unprofessionalism, but who is playing the cards behind the scene?

Apparently it is a planned attempt to undermine the current administration which is inept anyway. Now this attempt might cost us badly, even the Test status may be suspended. Already Bangladesh is under the scanner of the western cricket pundits about the competitiveness after the player exodus.

I am sure there will be some organized effort to downgrade Bangladesh's status in international cricket. For the sake of Bangladesh cricket it is very important to identify the mastermind behind current player exodus. Government should use its intelligence resources to identify the person.

It is important to correct current BCB's unprofessionalism but not at the cost of our cricket.

Another vital issue will be our performannce against New Zealand. This will be probably our biggest series in the history of Bangladesh cricket. We need some solid performance to prove our cricket will be on right track despite this ICL centric player exodus.

If we could just pull out a series win, not a whitewash, this will be a big middle finger to all those who screwed us and went for ICL. It's like, hell wit you guys, we can manage just fine without some bunch of unpatriotic whiners.

Getting jilted only makes a man become a 'player'.

I am sure some persons in the BCB itself are involved.

[pinch_hitter]

completely agree that the upcoming nz series indeed is the biggest for bangladesh since we are granted test status. or, the biggest ever, for that matter.

on thing about the icl fiasco is that, almost none of the players that were in the au tour are among the rebels. alok, sure. but he's the less-hyped ashraful of the squad. dhiman, sure he was impressive, but he was picked only because mushfiq was not fit. nazimuddin, i personally liked that bloke. he's flashy and stylish. but never really had the scope to groom much. was never a regular in the team. and forhad, i liked him too. he was the new chacha of the bd team, only better. handy bowler for middle overs, and a handly batsman at the late order. but none of them were regulars in the team. in that sense, by and large, we have pretty much the same team that toured au in our hand. granted they had a dismal showing, but considering the circumstances, we're not in that terrible of a hole. but at the same note, thats what makes the nz series the most imoprtant series for bd so far.

again, strictly in my own personal openion.

It si a matter of pride! War against self before war against others. Brotherhood sorted before blood drunk. Hmm.....!

[cricket_king]

I very much agree with the New Zealand tour being the most important so far. We need to show that the loss of these traitors hasn't affected us in a anyway, and maybe has enhanced our game.

[Dhakablues]

I have to disagree that we have to do a witchhunt for the culprits. Why do we have to? The players are not forced to join the ICL. And moreover, ICL contract has it that they can be released for national duty (although, BCI doesnt recognize it and hence duckling ICC must follow BCIs command). Look, players like Bashar/Sharif/Manju/Rafique making 1.5 crore,, why is that bad news?

Yes, this is a severe blow to us.. but trust me, even with the full fledged team our results were not any better these days,, and with a brand new team it would be the same. Just how are we really impacted? Lets look at the possible playing XI: without the rebels:

1. Tamim
2. Mehrab/Juaned
3. Ashraful
4. Raqibul
5. Saqibul
6. Mushfique
7. Mashrafee
8. Razzaque
9. Shahadat
10. Riad
11. Nazmul/Rasel/Dollar/Sajidul/Robin

So how would the result be different if you replaced Aftab/Nafees?

Yes, it is still a loss but not something that we have to start a military backed movement to find the mastermind. The mastermind is actually BCB who ignored the players and did nothing when Ashraful told them about the ICL issue 2 months ago. Lipu was just doing the other 987 things he has to do other than talking or instant-messaging players.

Spot on Miraz, our future test staus is at stake right now! Simply put, we must perform against NZ

[ashkale]

Hear that Ashraful might be joining today's presscon in delhi. I think Dhaka warriors have a greater chance of playing good cricket than when the same players were playing for Bangladesh. In the long run it will be good for cricket in Bangladesh.

Care to elaborate how?

[Trigger_Tiger]

Given that this exodus proves to be even more detremental than it already is (thanks to the Western Hemisphere Cricket World making a bigger fuss about it than us), then what shall we label the mastermind(s) and the players who left? Collaborators?

[Fazal]

I completely agree government should do serious investigation and find out who is behind the scene. I suggest government should ask for all available help from CIA, Scotland Yard, NDS, ASIO, MTN, OSA, CSIS, MSS, DAS, DGI, DGSE, BDN, R&AW, MOIS, GDS, MOSSAD, ISI, Al Mukhabarat Al A'amah, NIB, Idarat al-Mukhabarat al-Amma, NIA, MIT,Milli İstihbarat Teşkilatı, JIC, MI6, etc to assist DGFI and RAB finding all the culprits.

[Murad]

Habibul Bashar.

Or

Faruk Ahmed.

[CholCholBD]

I want to know if Syed Rasel is available for the NZ series???

IF anyone knows any updates on his injury, please let us know. He would be a great 3rd pacer for the NZ series, we really need him to help restrict them to 200.

[bujhee kom]

who is this faruk ahmed? what do we know about this guy?
also what happened to all that $$ that is supposed be coming back to bcb from the folks that borrowed it by mistake?
how much is it? and we demand to see where it's going to get spent at!

He is our immediate past chief selector and former skipper of Bangladesh team. There is no report that he masterminded this exodus.

[Tehsin]

Faruk also happens to be the cousin of Shariar Nafees. He probably started the legacy of non-performing captains in the BD national team. He played 7 ODIs between 1988-1999, scored 105 runs at 15avg with 57 of those runs scored in a single match (against India, 1990, 126 balls).

Is it confirmed that Faruk was indeed behind this?


Added: He has a FC avg of 36.85. http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/stat...yer/55885.html

OMG! you forgot to mention FBI

[Tehsin]

In Fazal's defense, FBI's jurisdiction is pretty much the continental US.
