Bangladesh Premier League Team Faces Payment Crisis, Players and Staff Left Stranded

Durbar Rajshahi's financial troubles escalate as unpaid wages lead to withheld kit bags and foreign players stranded in Dhaka.

Durbar Rajshahi, a Bangladesh Premier League team, is under scrutiny for failing to pay salaries to players and staff, including foreign cricketers and a bus driver.
The team's bus driver locked players' kit bags inside the vehicle, refusing to return them until his overdue wages were paid.
Foreign players, including Mohammad Haris, Aftab Alam, and Ryan Burl, were left stranded in a Dhaka hotel due to missed payment deadlines and lack of communication from team management.
Team owner Shafiq Rahman was taken into custody and promised to resolve the payment issues by February 7, but many players are expected to leave without receiving their full salaries.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board and National Sports Council have pledged to investigate the situation, which has raised broader concerns about financial mismanagement in the league.
