International cricket body chief slams BCB | The Federation of International Cricketers' Associations
(FICA) chief Tim May has criticized the Bangladesh Premier League administration for their non-compliance with terms and conditions of player contracts. “As part
of the contract, we staggered payment obligations of the franchises across three
dates, one before the tournament commenced, one during and one following the event.
We also ensured that the Bangladesh Cricket Board guaranteed the player payments
(this was written into the player contract),” Pak Passion.net quoted him, as saying.
“We advised players that despite us coming to agreement with the BPL regarding
the terms and conditions of the contract – that we had some concerns regarding
the tournament and advised that players should not travel to Bangladesh without
receiving the first 25 percent instalment of their salary,” he added. He called
on the BCB to pay the outstanding dues to players. “Our take is that there is
an obligation on the franchises and BCB to pay the players and that those obligations
have well and truly expired. Whilst slowly but surely some of the players are
being progressively paid, we don’t really care for excuses as there is an obligation
to pay and they must honor these obligations,” he said. He said the International
Cricket council should get more involved in combating corruption and doping in
the sport. “I actually do feel that they should get more involved – particularly
from an anti corruption and anti doping perspective. Some countries simply don’t
have the resources to provide all the necessary testing, policing and education
related to the above, and as we have seen, any infractions of the respective codes
have a large impact on the reputation and worth of the game worldwide,” he said.
