BCB director Fahim says 'Chittagong Kings owner's remarks insulting to players'

BCB director Nazmul Abedeen Fahim has termed the remarks made by the Chattogram franchise owner about a cricketer as insulting to players.

Speaking to the media, franchise owner Samir Quader Chowdhury justified withholding Parvez Hossain Emon's payment, citing "personal reasons," and went on to say that "money doesn't grow on trees." Fahim believes such comments from a franchise owner are unacceptable and demeaning to cricketers.  

The ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) continues to be mired in controversies over unpaid dues. On Tuesday, reports emerged that cheques issued for the second instalment of payments to Durbar Rajshahi players had bounced. Fahim addressed the issue in front of the academy building at Mirpur Stadium, where he also commented on the Chattogram incident and Samir Quader's remarks about Emon.

When asked if the comments made by the franchise owner were insulting to Emon or players in general, Fahim said, "Of course, they are. We do not expect anyone to make such comments. A team or a player can have ups and downs, but I believe someone like Emon has given his best effort. The greatest lesson from this great game is that everyone should respect one another. Maintaining that respect is essential."  

Fahim added that the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) did not take such behaviour lightly. "All cricketers are like our own, whether they play for the national team or not. Everyone participating in the BPL is a high-profile cricketer. Any mistreatment towards them is a matter of concern for us. We have not taken this lightly. None of us wanted to see a national team player face such a situation."  

The issue of unpaid salaries has also raised concerns within the BCB. Fahim admitted that trust in some franchises has diminished. "Our trust in some franchises has indeed decreased. This is why we are closely monitoring them at every step. If they had fulfilled their commitments even moderately, we wouldn't have to be this concerned. Moving forward, we will keep a regular watch to ensure they are meeting their commitments," he said.
