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
amount, 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 have been already fixed for some franchise in a
price above the fixed rate. BPL Governing Council has also not taken
any initiative to stop this. They thought 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. Here is the list of the players who were interested in playing BPL T20 2015.
