Bangladesh Cricket Board chief Tamim Iqbal says there is a risk the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) may not be held this year, pointing to financial losses from recent seasons. He says the tournament has led to losses totaling about 40 crore Bangladeshi taka (around Rs 31 crore) over the past two seasons, according to NDTV.
Tamim’s remarks frame the issue around costs and returns for the franchise-based competition. The reports highlight that the decision-making process is influenced by the magnitude of losses, with uncertainty about whether the league proceeds in the current cycle.
While both sources discuss the same underlying claim—Tamim Iqbal’s estimate of cumulative losses tied to the BPL—each report phrases the message as a possible “no BPL this year” scenario. Neither outlet provides additional details on the specific governance steps, alternative plans, or official timelines beyond Tamim’s stated figures and concerns.
