Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Nazmul Hasan has alleged that there have been constant attempts to sabotage Bangladesh’s upcoming tour of India. The country’s top cricketers with 11-point demand were an extension of the strike.
BCB agreed to their demands of better pay package after Bangladesh players called off the strike at the international and first-class level days before their four-week-long tour of India. They are supposed to play three T20 Internationals and two Tests.
As per reports, Hasan said he had specific information that this was a conspiracy to sabotage India tour, and everyone should believe in it.
When Hasan was asked to explain in detail like why he thought something like that. Why it came into his mind.
He mentioned that Tamim had initially told him that he will skip the second Test in Kolkata from November 22-26 for the birth of his second child. After the meeting with players, Tamim said he wants to opt-out of the whole tour.
On Wednesday, October 30, Bangladesh is due to arrive in New Delhi but BCB president is skeptical that there could be a few more pull-outs.
Later, he won’t be surprised if someone pulls out at the eleventh hour when he would be left with no other options. He even called Shakib to have a chat. He also pulls out where to find a captain. He may need to change the whole combination. What to do with these players?
By senior cricketers, the top boss is still livid with the arm-twisting tactic employed and he feels made a mistake by agreeing to their demands.
Meanwhile, he said that he has never done that and he should have told the players. Until and unless they call off strike, they will not sit with guys across the negotiation table. Speaking to board members, Hasan also added he felt that this should have been their approach but the media also created pressure on them.
