The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is keen to find out some high-quality leg-spinners and fast bowlers and therefore has urged all participating teams to include such players on a mandatory basis.

BCB's severity was evidenced by the fact that they fired two coaches for not playing leg-spinner two months ago during the National Cricket League (NCL).

Considering that Bangladesh has the dearth of quality leg-spinner and pace bowler that can clock 140 KM in speed-gun, the decision was taken.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is eager to find out some quality leg-spinners and fast bowlers and therefore has urged all participating teams to include such players on a mandatory basis.

Considering that Bangladesh has the dearth of quality leg-spinner and pace bowler that can clock 140 KM in speed-gun, the decision was taken.

"This is indeed our policy. It is recommended that everyone complies with this. A leg-spinner and a pace bowler will play and it's said that they will bowl at 140 KM level. I think they're going to play in 90 percent of cases, "said BCB President Nazmul Hassan Papon on Thursday.

The report that the selection of a foreign coach by each BBPL team created a huge uproar among the local coaches. But the head of the BCB made it clear that it is not necessary for a team to name a foreign coach.

"It's not mandatory to assign a foreign coach," he said. "What they want is up to the team supporters. They're allowed if they want local coaching, and if they want international coaches, we don't have any questions about that, "he said.

Papon also said that if BCB takes responsibility for all departments, they would have done whatever they could.

"Because we've been getting sponsors, there's an alternative. They will bring up two players from abroad. How many games they'd bring up was their hope. Coaches are mentioned. They can take coach from here if they want, it's extra. We have nothing to put on them.
