BPL-2 General Discussion

[One World]

Not funny at all.

Pretty sure majority of Australian domestic players will be available after the Big Bash, should BCB not allow the franchise to buy them out of the auction list. I know some good players that will be free for the BPL tournment such as Matthew Wade, Jame Faulkner, Jackson Bird, Micheal Hussey, John Hastings, decent players. other players from different countries include Matt Prior, Jesse Ryder, Richard Levi, Johan Botha, Imran Tahir and Marchant de Lange many more.

Its not like you go to super market and buy watever you want. Players have to have interested playing bpl. And I'm sure, if they were interested, they would have put their hands up before the auction. No point saying the same thing every 2 hours on the forum

in your own opinion, do you think BPL governing commitee or who ever made the auction list contacted those players or do you think they were just happy making the tournment full of pakistani players auctioned?. in my opinion BPL commitee are such failures... why.. that guy don't know his name on some interview could not answer to simple questions.. and the payment issue still goes on. I can assure you that majority of the players where not contacted by whoever made the auction list.

This BPL issue is getting messed up now. Franchises should pay the rest of the players their money ffs. Now i wont be able to see Hales open the batting with Tamim

[Abirz]

Forget everything else that's a mess, Im cracking up at the fact that some of the international and domestic players have still not been paid for last year's tournament!!

Their availability isn't the primary issue, the issue is if they even want to come and play BPL given the payment and contract mess that followed last year and still hasn't been completely resolved. As if BCB didn't already have a bad reputation for being unprofessional and not keeping their word

[Maysun]

For those who are asking. After I finish with the @bigbashleague I will play 4 the @dhakagladiators in the BPL, then join up with Eng in NZ

Less than a week left, yet still nothing is confirmed. I was really looking forward to this year's BPL. I thought maybe after last year's issues BCB will be more strict about everything to make sure things go more smoother. Bhabsilam fantasy league korbo, so we call enjoy it like last year. But after all this mess, I am starting to lose hope.

Mismanagement hinders build-up, say BPL teams

The BPL governing council for the first edition faced much criticism for the way they handled certain issues, but according to franchisees it has gone only from bad to worse after a new group replaced the officials for the second edition.
There are many issues still needed to be sorted out, including the participation of Pakistani players and the accommodation of players, which put the franchisees in an uncertain situation.
Champions Dhaka Gladiators are among others who raised their voice against the mismanagement of the tournament and doubted whether it would be financially viable for them.
‘They (BPL governing council) are failing in many ways and it only proves the tournament is going through a total mismanagement,’ Salim Chowdhury, owner of Gladiators, told reporters on Saturday.
‘The promotional activities are not worth mentioning as nothing is being done by the BPL committee that suggest they are not keen to take the game into the heart of the fans,’ said Salim.
‘If that is not ensured it would be difficult to sustain as the fans can only ensure a success to the competition,’ added Salim.
Salim’s disappointment doubled as he is yet to start his team’s practice like he did in the first edition because of unavailability of players – both local and foreign.

‘We are yet to get the full squad whereas even today the BCB could not guarantee over the Pakistani players’ participation,’ added Salim.
Duranto Rajshahi owner Mushfiqur Rahman also echoed the same opinion as Salim and took a U-turn from his earlier stance when he had confirmed the Pakistani players’ participation in the tournament.
Mushfiq brought in Pakistani Abdul Razzak to prove his point and show the media there is little to worry about the Pakistani players though Razzak foiled the attempt saying he cannot go against the board.
‘It is really very difficult with so many uncertainties around. Though I am a positive man still I cannot say anything with supreme authority on the Pakistani players’ issue,’ said Mushfiq.

Apart from promotion and their failure to ensure the franchises about the Pakistani players, the BPL governing council is yet to finalise a company for the opening ceremony, which is just two days away.

The franchises are yet to receive confirmation about their air tickets to take their players to the other two venues in Khulna and Chittagong.
Some franchises complained that due to a lack of cooperation from the BCB they did not get the hotel booking and are being charged almost double than their expected rent.
