Head Coach of the Dhaka Gladiators and former National Bowling Coach, Ian Pont shares his views on the inaugural Bangladesh Premier League. He reports from Chittagong on the eve of the 2nd phase of the BPL campaign. "Regardless of the way the games go, we are trying to base our whole ethos on good management of players and maintaining a healthy spirit in the camp. Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success."

What has been a bit hard to follow are the constant comings and goings of overseas players. It looks like teams are trying to bring players in to help them boost their results and we have a change in competition rules during the tournament about additional players. It appears that squads can be extended further than the original 18 and there are rumours flying around about who might or might not be coming in for other sides. Some fresh faces have suddenly started to arrive. The fact remains that the Dhaka Gladiators are still with the original 18 players chosen at auction, with 16 currently here as has been the case throughout with both Shahid Afridi and Saeed Ajmal to join us for the semi-finals and finals, should we make it that far. This has always been the case and has been our position from the beginning when the player auction first took place.

That's a false statement Ian, I have seen Mehrab Jr and another player (who were not part of the original squad) in DG's dug out in the last few matches, in fact Mehrab is playing today, so how come you got only 16 players?

Off topic : At last team management decides to change the captain of Sylhet Royals .
Their Icon player Alok Kapali will lead them in rest of the matches of BPL.

Bro read it again, Ian said they didn't have any additional players to their squad after the new rule made by BPL Governing Council, that's why I asked if that is the case how come players like Mehrab Jr is playing who was not part of the original squad?
