The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) wants international broadcast for the upcoming Bangabandhu T20 tournament in a bid to make it more gorgeous event, reports BSS.
A total of 75 local cricketers will take part in the five-team competition. BCB president Nazmul Hasan has confirmed that foreign cricketers will not be called up for the tournament.
If there is no sponsor, the BCB will reduce the cost sector and will organise it at its own cost. If all the five teams get sponsors, then BCB will organise the tournament in a grand manner.
"We are getting response from the parties," BCB director and media committee chairman Jalal Yunus told reporters on Saturday. "I have heard that many people are interested. Many companies have shown interest."
Commenting on the international broadcast, he said, "We will call for an international broadcast. Our broadcasts will be different, production will be different and digital content will also be different. Maybe someone can take it for digital content. Or they can take the broadcast or production separately."
Though the tournament is scheduled to be held in mid-November, the way the BCB is moving forward, there are fears that the tournament may be delayed.
Jalal Yunus, however, said, "Since we are trying for an international broadcast, there may be some delays. It may take 08 to 10 days, so the tournament may be delayed and will be held another time instead of November 15. After receiving the sponsorship, the team of the tournament will be formed and the remuneration of the players will be fixed."
