Bangladesh Cricket: Amidst the turmoil in Bangladesh cricket, clouds of crisis are looming over BPL matches for the second day today. The ongoing ‘cold war’ between the players and the board has now become a war of respect. CWAB has made it clear that no player will pick up the bat until board director Nazmul Islam apologizes for his statements on a public platform.

tough stance of players

The players are unhappy not only with the policies of the board, but with the insult that was done to them personally. Speaking to the media, a representative of the players said, “We are not as bothered by the lack of money or facilities as we are by the loss of our self-respect. Calling our senior players ‘agents’ and calling the hard work of the youth a ‘waste of money’ is intolerable.”

Why demand an apology?

The controversy started when Nazmul Islam had called a legendary player like Tamim Iqbal an ‘Indian agent’. According to the new condition of the players, Nazmul Islam will have to call a press conference. He will have to take back his words and apologize to the players in writing and orally. Have to express regret over the comments made towards Tamim Iqbal and the entire team.

BPL has come to a standstill

Due to this controversy the schedule of BPL has been completely spoiled. Broadcasters and sponsors are facing losses worth crores of rupees. Fans who have purchased tickets are returning from outside the stadium. The board has sent some senior officials to convince the players, but the players are adamant on their demand of ‘apology and resignation’.
