BPL is now in a bad condition, losing Joulus day by day. This tournament, which was once very popular, is no longer as passionate as it used to be. No good-quality foreign cricketer wants to come. But why this state of BPL? Shakib Al Hasan, the poster boy of Bangladesh cricket, opened his mouth on that topic. He also said, if he is in charge of the board, this is BPL
He did not take long to fix the mismanagement. At one time BPL was ranked after IPL. But now why can’t anyone put BPL in the queue of international-level tournaments?
Shakib said in response to the questions of the journalists, “It is difficult to say that we could not make BPL beautiful or we did not want to. I don’t see any reason why we cannot do something. I think we never wanted to remove mismanagement in BPL from our hearts. The budget is being talked about again and again. Meanwhile, we failed because we could not make the budget. If the budget were increased, the quality of BPL would also be better”.
Shakib also said, “Cricket is very popular in our country. You will not find any remote part of the village, where cricket is not played. People have different interests in cricket. In a country of 16-20 crore people, where everyone is very interested in cricket, there will be a market for this game. No, how is that possible? It’s so sad. I don’t know about the others, but at least I don’t believe it.”
According to Shakib, the marketing of cricket is not done properly. Shakib said, “I think it’s a big failure from the marketing point of view. BPL doesn’t have DRS, it is said that it is not available. If there is goodwill, I don’t see any reason to stop anything. Without DRS, the quality of BPL will be questioned. BPL could have been planned much earlier.” . No draft or auction three months ago, teams won’t be fixed 2 months ago, simple calculation.”
According to Shakib, Dhaka Premier League is better than BPL. He said, “Players will come one day to play BPL and leave after two days. No one knows who will come and who will go. Many players have not got the dress. I have seen these things in the news. What is the situation with BPL? This is our Dhaka. The Premier League is more structured and standardized. Everyone knows what the team is up to and they can prepare accordingly. As a result, the quality of the game is better.”
He also made an explosive comment that if Shakib is given the responsibility, he can fix everything in one to two months. Shakib said, “If I am given the responsibility of chief selector in Bangladesh cricket, it will not take me long to fix the mismanagement of BPL. I think it will take one to two months at most to fix everything. It should not take two months, two months is too far. Saying. Have you not seen the movie ‘Hindi Nayak’ in Bollywood? A lot can be done in a day. Anyone who can do it can do it all. You just need to plan and act accordingly”.
It should be noted that Shakib Al Hasan will captain Fortune Barisal in this season of BPL. Despite being very close to the title in the last season, Barisal failed. Barisal became runners-up after losing to Comilla Victorians by just 1 run. But this time they will be desperate to win the title.
