DHAKA, Oct 10: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has made a two-month contract extension for players in the national squad, with plans to reconsider the payment structure based on performances in the National Cricket League.
“The contracts expired on Sept 30, but we have decided to extended it by two months,” Gazi Ashraf Hossain, the chairman of the board’s cricket operations committee, told the Daily Star. “We have extended the contract to create a level playing field for the cricketers in the upcoming National Cricket League before confirming the new salary structure.”
Presently, the BCB has 21 players, divided into three categories, under its payroll.
Hossain said stand-out performers would be given national contracts.—Agencies
