After a prolonged delay spanning five months, the Bangladesh national women's cricket team finally received their long-overdue salaries under the central contract, confirmed by Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel, the chairman of the Bangladesh Cricket Board women's wing.

Nadel expressed regret over the prolonged wait, acknowledging that the disbursement was significantly delayed.

"Look, there were some changes to the proposal that we gave to the board, which is why it was unexpectedly delayed. In fact, it was very late," Nadel told reporters in Sylhet today.

"We communicated with the board president and the CEO after we got to know the issue. It was later processed and, as far as I know, the salaries have already been transferred to the players' accounts."

It was reported that the players had not received their wages for five months due to a "technical reason" during the Pakistan series last month.
