After the Bangladesh women’s cricket team achieved victory against India on Sunday, the president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, Nazmul Hassan Papon, presented the players with a financial incentive of 35 lakh taka.
The Tigresses won their first match against India in one-day internationals (ODIs) and tied the series 1-1. This came after the Tigresses lost the T20I series 2-1.
Since we won our first one-day international match against India and there were a few individual performances like Fargana Hoque making a century, we decided to provide Tk 25 lakh for the players, Papon said the press. “Normally we give bonuses when we win a series, but since we won our first ODI against India and there were a few individual performances like that,”
“In addition, we will provide a bonus of Tk 2 lakh to the player who scored a hundred as well as to the other players on an individual basis. According to what he said next, “I believe that the total amount of bonus will be around Tk 35 lakh including bonus for the coaching staff.”
The head of the BCB, however, declined to comment on the contentious statements made by the Indian team captain Harmanpreet Kaur at the post-match presentation ceremony that took place after the third one-day international match.
“Cricket is the kind of game in which everyone is familiar with its laws and regulations, and the whole of the globe has seen what has taken place. We are thus at a loss for words since there exist laws and regulations, and they will indicate the appropriate behavior. There is a match referee and umpires, and the International Cricket Council (ICC) will take the required procedures, so we have nothing more to add. However, I am relieved to learn that our daughters did not engage in any behavior of the such,” he said.
