The Bangladesh Cricket Board has approved players’ demands in a meeting that started with the BCB President shouting at Mehidy Hasan for not picking up his calls.

Bangladesh’s tour to India will go ahead as planned after a late-night meeting of the players with the BCB President Nazmul Hassan went well. He accepted most of the demands made by the players and they have agreed to travel to India. However, the meeting started with Hassan targeting Mehidy for not picking up his calls and he also threatened to delete the spinner’s number from his phone.

“Miraz, what have I not done for you, and you didn't pick up my phone call? From today onwards, I will delete your number from my phone,” he shouted.

The incident was a shock for the players who were ready to rant out their anger and instead got rattled. It was only Shakib Al Hasan who could talk to the President and let him know about the points the players wanted to discuss.

One of the cricketers revealed, “The Miraz thing rattled us. The way the meeting began, it didn't leave us with much to say. Shakib [Al Hasan] managed to put forth our points but the rest of us simply didn't have the mentality to bargain.”

“We were told that all of our demands were met, but there was no actual detail. This was quite confusing, as we wanted to know exactly by how much, for example, the NCL [National Cricket League] match fees will be increased. There was no clear direction,” he added.

Nazmul Hassan was happy to comply with what the players wanted and was ready to give them what they wanted.

“We have no problem to comply with what the players want,” he said after the meeting.
