The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has decided to provide a financial incentive of Tk two crore among 1720 men and women cricketers, most of whom are outside the BCB’s existing contract system.
However, contracted women cricketers will be eligible for the BCB assistance.
The Board’s initiative, taken at the advice of BCB President Nazmul Hassan, will cover 1432 men and 288 women cricketers as a token of support to cricketers affected by the disruption to domestic competitions due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The players who are eligible to receive the incentive are selected from various domestic events under the jurisdiction of the Board including the Dhaka Premier League, Dhaka First, Second and Third Division leagues, Women’s National, Emerging and Under-19 teams, Women’s National Cricket League, Premier Division and First Division leagues.
