BPL-3 PLAYERS PRICE

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

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.
