ISLAMABAD:
Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) authorities still owe dues to some of the Pakistani players and coach who participated in the inaugural event. The BPL ran from February 9 to the 29 and was won by a star-studded Dhaka Gladiators team who had some big international names such as Saeed Ajmal, Shahid Afridi, Rana Naved, Azhar Mahmood and Imran Nazir. Pakistan’s fielding coach Julien Fountain, who was the assistant coach of the Dhaka Gladiators, has said he was also waiting for his outstanding monies. “Not only players but I’m waiting for the flight reimbursement and win bonus as well,” said Fountain. “It’s not a good advert for attracting players from overseas for next year.”
