The Bangladesh government has formed a FACTS Research Committee to examine the non-payment of BPL players during the 2024-25 season. The country’s sports ministry made the announcement on Thursday, in the middle of the issuance of payments.
“The attention of the National Sports Council (NSC) has been called to various media reports on the payment problem of players in the ongoing BPL,” the Ministry of Sports said in a statement. “The image of the country, through the BCB and the BPL, will hurt if the payments are not made according to the contracts.”
The three -member committee is formed by the director of the NSC (Sports) Humayun Kabir, Deputy Director (Sports) Sajia Afrin and the private secretary of the NSC President, Saiful Islam. The Committee will have seven days to send its report.
The issuance of payments has become a major headache for the BCB, which supposedly assumed bank guarantees of all BPL teams before the tournament. There are reports of more than one team that has not paid for its players. Durbar Rajshahi players have directed the protest so far. His local players boycotted an internship session on the chatogram, and the abroad players boycotted the game against Rangpur Riders in Dhaka.
