I will hopefully be able to post the cleaner version of the tables above. The Excel spreadsheet is not too clean.

Figured the numbers would be around that. It's a good start no doubt - salaries will definitely increase fast, like they did for central contracts, although we're still not quite where you want to be with those either.

this is a pleasant surprise! I wasn't expecting the board to follow through , really well done!

Cricket will now have employment for 120 players, that is a great feat! And as others said, the money is bound to go upwards, and add to this the NCL match fees, DPL, BPL income and cricket will provide 70-80 young men with a fairly affluent lifestyle!

Well done BCB

The Bangladesh Cricket Board has, for
the first time, offered central contracts
to 105 players from outside the
national team, taking a major step
towards decentralisation of the game
from its present Dhaka-centric
structure. The decision is aimed at
increasing competition in the NCL,
long called a "picnic tournament"
because of the lack of seriousness
among players preferring the Dhaka
club circuit.
The list includes cricketers from each
of the eight designated regions of the
country - Barisal, Khulna, Rajshahi,
Chittagong, Sylhet, Rangpur, Dhaka
and Dhaka Metropolis - that take part
in the NCL.
Cricketers with more than 11 years of
first-class experience will be paid Tk
25,000 (approx $300) per month
under Catergory A. Players with 6-10
years of experience will receive Tk
20,000 (approx $240) per month in
Category B and Tk 15,000 (approx
$180) per month in Category C for
players who have played for 1-5
years. The 2012-13 domestic season
will begin in the second week of
October, but the contracts will be
effective on January 1, 2013.
The BCB chief AHM Mustafa Kamal
made the announcement at the Sher-
e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur
during a function attended by BCB
directors, national selectors and some
first-class players, who were handed
the contracts.
"This is just the beginning. We have
given the players the contracts and
soon we will be able to put in place
the infrastructure across the country,"
Kamal told ESPNcricinfo.
Hannan Sarkar , who has played 17
Tests, 20 ODIs and 92 first-class
games, spoke on behalf of the players
and talked about the need for such a
system.
"We have waited a long time for such
an initiative. We always wanted to be
under the BCB's contracts. We thank
them on behalf of the players," Sarkar
said. "Every player now will want to be
under the BCB's contract. This is a big
recognition for a professional
cricketer. The competition that I felt as
a salaried national cricketer will be
replicated at the first-class level."
"This is the start of a journey, so for
those who are going to be enrolled in
the future, it will be much better for
them. And I also think the careers will
be longer from now on," he said.
Former national captain Habibul
Bashar, who is now a national
selector, underlined the importance of
this contract to the players. "From my
personal experience, I have often
seen that it is hard to motivate players
in first-class cricket. We have talked
about the lack of professionalism in
this format, but from now on, I hope
this question will never arise," Bashar
said.
"The standard will be higher because
everyone will be serious from this
point onwards. I think this step will
take Bangladesh cricket a long way
ahead," he said.
First-class cricket began in Bangladesh
in 1999 with the six divisional sides
taking part in the NCL, which is now in
its thirteenth season, and it is the only
first-class competition in the country.

Chobi te onek nam na jana muk..but can see Rasel and Shamsur i guess..others not sure...haire Rasel...tumur koto potential chilo amader Vaas hoiber ...koi gela tumi...i hope these players put 200% and create competition of the national players and also stengthen our pipeline players for backups and even call up for good performances...

[al Furqaan]

Yeah the numbers will go up...I think to make things really good we needed to make it performance based or a combination of performance-experience.
