BPL: Regrets outweigh the success (Prothom Alo English)

The franchise tournament, which started out with big dreams, has in many occasions become synonymous to disappointment.

Now, seeing the picture of Shakib Al Hasan with the car he won as the player of the tournament in 2012 evokes a deep sigh. The BCB also doesnโ€™t share the profits of BPL with the franchises. The player of the tournament would win a car. Like, the absence of DRS has become a regular occurrence in BPL. Some of the activities of the franchises that have been associated with the BPL for one-two seasons, donโ€™t go with the concept of franchise cricket. The answer, in a sentence, is that most of those dreams have remained unfulfilled.

But ultimately it is up to the BCB to create the required value. Shakib himself was one of the top run-getters and levelled-up with his power-hitting, scoring at an incredible strike-rate of just over 174.
