As the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024 heads toward its final stages, Rangpur Riders are reinforcing their squad to end their long title drought. The 2017 BPL champions have secured big-name signings, including Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, David Warner, Tim David, and Asif Ali, ahead of the playoffs.
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024 was expected to be a tournament defined by on-field performances, but instead, it has been overshadowed by off-field controversies. Fans had hoped for a high-quality competition, but player payment disputes have taken center stage, drawing more attention than the actual cricket.
Rangpur Riders, who had dominated the ongoing BPL 2024 with eight consecutive wins, have now suffered their third straight defeat. After losing twice to Durbar Rajshahi, Rangpur fell once again—this time to Chittagong Kings.
The World Cricketers' Association (WCA) has urged the implementation of "basic global protections" to ensure franchise leagues pay players on time, according to ESPNcricinfo.
The financial turmoil surrounding Durbar Rajshahi in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) has taken another dramatic turn. After previously boycotting practice in Chattogram due to unpaid salaries, the players had agreed to take the field after receiving only 25% of their payments, following intervention from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President. However, the crisis is far from over.
Rangpur Riders have been sitting comfortably at the top of the points table, securing a spot in the first qualifier well before the group stage concluded. With their playoff berth confirmed, the team could have focused on wrapping up the group stage without pressure. However, back-to-back losses have raised concerns within the camp.
The controversy surrounding financial irregularities in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) took another turn as players from the Rajshahi team reported that their cheques had bounced.
Durbar Rajshahi kept their playoff hopes alive with a crucial 5-wicket win over Sylhet Strikers in their final group-stage match of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). Taskin Ahmed’s team now stands on the brink of securing a spot in the top four.
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) continues to be discussed by payment disputes, overshadowing on-field performances with off-field controversies. England batter Dawid Malan, representing Fortune Barishal, offered a straightforward solution: teams without sufficient funds should refrain from participating.
