The non-payment situation at Durbar Rajshahi continues to get graver after several foreign players have been left stranded in their team hotel in Dhaka after their elimination from the 2025 Bangladesh Premier League.
What is happening in the Bangladesh Premier League?
The Rajshahi franchise has been in the news for not paying its players what they are owed. The players had to cover their own expenses for over a week in January as the franchise was late with daily allowance payments. Despite Rajshahi then promising to pay, they continued to miss deadlines.
This forced the Bangladesh Cricket Board to take legal action against the team and led to local cricketers boycotting a practice session in Chattogram. Overseas players refused to play the BPL game against Rangpur Riders in protest, which was against the tournament's rules.
After the team was eliminated from the competition, it was reported that the overseas players were still in Dhaka waiting for flights home, more than 24 hours after losing their game against Khulna Tigers.
