Players price has been announced by
BPL authority. The price range for the local and overseas players are given
below:
LOCAL PLAYERS: 5,00,000-35,00,000/= BDT [6,500-45,500/= USD]
OVERSEAS PLAYERS: 30,000-70,000/= USD
There are 4 grades of players,
selected by BPL Authority. The A grade players will get the maximum price of
70,000/= USD. B grade players will get 50,000/= USD while C and D grade players
will get 40,000/= USD and 30,000/= USD respectively. Each franchise must take
at least 3 players from this list.
Grade A = 19 players
Grade B = 34 players
Grade C = 36 players
Grade D = 107 players
Grade B = 34 players
Grade C = 36 players
Grade D = 107 players
However, there is an option for the
franchises to buy players for any amount of money. But, the responsibility for
any amount above 70,000/= USD will not be taken by BPL Authority. So, the
players who are interested in playing for a franchise for money more than the
fixed rate, will have to play BPL on their own risks. BPL Authority will ask
those players to sign a form. The form will contain the statement that any
amount above 70,000/= USD will not be paid by BPL Authority. Rather, the extra
amount will be paid by the franchises themselves. In the previous season, many
players were not given their full amount of money for a long time. Even now,
some players have their money due. So, it will be better for the players if
they don’t sign with any franchise in a price above the fixed rate.
However, some players are already
fixed for some franchise in price above the fixed rate. BPL Governing Council
is also not taking any initiative to stop this. They think that it was needed
for the acceptance of the tournament. According to them, a player like Shakib
Al Hasan is more valuable than any player in the world. So, he must get
more money than the others. Similarly, some foreign superstars like Chris
Gayle, Shahid Afridi, Kumar Sangakkara also should be paid
more than the others.
