I say its a awesome decision by PCB …These bangalis should be treated the way like they treat us no more support from …
None of the 26 Pakistan players auctioned in this season’s Bangladesh Premier League will take part in the Twenty20 competition after the PCB refused to issue No Objection Certificates (NOCs).
The seven franchises will now have to hastily replace the cricketers in less than two days as the tournament begins on January 18. But the PCB’s stance is seen here as a backhanded victory for the BCB who now have a justification not to tour Pakistan, a tour theyoriginally cancelled on December 31 due to security concerns, as this was used as the main cause of disagreement between the two boards.
“A little while ago, we received a phone call from their COO Subhan Ahmed saying that if we don’t send the Bangladesh team on tour to Pakistan, they won’t give NOCs to their players to participate in the BPL,” the BCB’s media committee chairman Jalal Yunus said. “We will hold the tournament without their participation and it will start as per schedule, the opening ceremony on January 17 and the matches beginning on January 18.”
The BCB president Nazmul Hassan said that the PCB knowingly waited till the last minute to inform them of the decision. "I couldn’t imagine that they could deliberately wait for so long, a day before the opening ceremony, to inform us that they won’t give the NOCs.
“There are many Pakistani cricketers who were bought in the auction so to have all of them pull out at the last minute is a problem for us.”
Posted by ** Samad.Sylhet.Mitali.Raynogor** on (January 16 2013, 17:02 PM GMT) My urges to BCB please don’t push players to go to pakistan and risk their life specially Shakib and Tamim. They are the shining jewels of our cricket. **Shakib is our future Garfield Sobers and Tamim would be our future Gordon Greenidge.**BPL provides a great platform to the upcoming team like us it provides reach cricket by involving big international cricketers and thus our cricketers would get self belief and confidence.PCB Please keep your politics to your self i give you a solution use your emotions somewhere else you should invite Afgan or Nepal team maybe.
Good players but most definitely not in the league of Sobers or Greenidge!
