‘BCB has the ability to survive for five years’

Coronavirus outbreaks have suspended all forms of sports. National cricket is also closed along with international cricket. Twenty-two yards have been empty for a long time. In this situation, the cricket boards face financial losses. However, whatever the situation, the Bangladesh Cricket Board will not declare bankruptcy in any way.

On April 18, the Times of India, a media outlet in India, published a report citing the Press Trust of India (PTI). Where they point out, the coronavirus could trigger a financial crisis among the top companies that lose revenue due to the closure of sports.

They also expressed concern about the Bangladesh Cricket Board along with Sri Lanka, the West Indies, Pakistan and South Africa.

The BCB has rejected such a claim by the media. Ismail Haider Mallick, chairman of the board and head of the finance committee, and Akram Khan, head of the BCB’s cricket management division, said Tiger Cricket would not go bankrupt in any way considering the financial day. The board has the ability to survive for at least five years.

Mallick said in detail: ‘I don’t know on what basis that news was published. I don’t think the Bangladesh Cricket Board will go bankrupt or stay on the road. The BCB has the ability to survive for at least five years.

“It just caught our eye then. Such a loss will be across the cricket world. Will India suffer less? Every board has to count more or less losses. But it is not right for us to declare bankruptcy. And the T20 World Cup, BPL it’s too late. We have to accept the reality of the whole world. ‘ Added.

The BCB fears bankruptcy due to television broadcast rights and title sponsors. The team has not had a permanent sponsor since the end of the contract with Unilever. The television broadcast agreement with Gazi Television will expire in April. It goes without saying that there is no possibility of obtaining new stations and sponsors in times of crisis.

However, Akram Khan refused to accept the board going bankrupt because of this. The BCB director said: “It just caught our eye then. The broadcast deal we’re talking about will be settled only if the situation improves. Most importantly, we can insist that we don’t go bankrupt in the position we are in now. ‘
