WI players to get back money owed by BPL - chairman - 09-30-2014
West Indies players who participated in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20 team in 2012, will soon get the money (taka) owned to them.
Quick-scoring opener Chris Gayle was bought by Barisal for US$551,000. His compatriot Marlon Samuels was snapped up Rajshahi for US$360,000, while the big hitting Trinidadian Kieron Pollard fetched US$300,000 from the Dhaka franchise.
Other West Indians in the mix were Dwayne Bravo (Chittagong US$150,000), Kevon Cooper (Chittagong US$50,000 and Samuel Badree (US$50,000). The tournament which ended in disgrace with a cloud of match fixing, fell apart because most of the franchises could not pay their overseas players.
