Local player's highest payment only Tk 30 lakh

According to the proposed new pay-scale for BPL-3, highest payment for a local player will be Tk 30 lakh. As far as foreign players are concerned highest payment of a player can be raised up to $70,000 though BCB is in favour of keeping it limited to $50,000. ‘Suppose we want to have Chris Gayle, one foreign player on our priority list and he doesn’t want to participate for less than $70000. We don’t want to lose him for $20000,’ said a BCB director preferred not to be named. ‘As far as local players are concerned we have decided not to increase it from Tk 30 lakh,’ he said. A team will be allowed to buy maximum seven foreign players but can field four in each game.
