BCB meeting to discuss resignations todayDHAKA: Bangladesh Cricket Board officials meeting today Tuesday with six Bangladesh players, including former captain Habibul Bashar, who resigned from the national team in an apparent move to join the rebel Indian Cricket League.
Bashar, Shariar Nafees, Aftab Ahmed, Mosharraf Hossain, Farhad Reza and Dhiman Ghosh cited "personal reasons" in their resignation letters Sunday.
The board officials will meet with the players to try to persuade them to change their minds, a BCB member said.
Local media reports said as many as 14 Bangladesh players could quit the national team in order to join the lucrative ICL and represent a newly formed Bangladesh-based team.
The ICL is a Twenty20 competition that is not recognized by the International Cricket Council, and runs in opposition to the ICC-sanctioned Indian Premier League.
Players competing in the ICL face possible bans from international cricket.
