BPL, yaani Bangladesh Premier League, jo 2012 se chal raha hai, hamesha se financial struggles se jujhta aaya hai. Players ko timely payment na milna, franchises ka paise ke mamle mein mismanagement, aur strong business model ki kami ne is league ka growth roka hai. IPL aur PSL jaise leagues ke mukable, BPL pichhe reh gaya. 2025 mein BCB (Bangladesh Cricket Board) ne finally ek revenue-sharing model introduce kiya hai jisse league ka financial structure mazboot ban sake aur players ko time pe paise mil sake.
Naya Revenue-Sharing Model – Kya Hai Isme Naya?
1. Ticket Sales se Paise Ka Batwara:
- Jo franchises apne players ko time pe payment karegi, unhe ticket sales ka hissa milega.
- Top 4 teams ko milenge BDT 55 lakh.
- Baaki teams ko milenge BDT 45 lakh.
- Jo franchises payment rules follow nahi karegi, unpe legal action hoga.
2. BCB khud karega Overseas Players ki Payment:
- Foreign players ke contracts aur match fees ka sara mamla ab BCB sambhalega taaki delay na ho aur transparency bani rahe.
3. Tight Financial Rules:
- Franchises ki finances par zyada nazar rakhi jayegi.
- Bank guarantees ka use hoga unpaid dues cover karne ke liye.
4. Logistics Support:
- BCB foreign players ke travel aur stay ka arrangement khud karega.
Objectives – Is Model ka Goal Kya Hai?
- Financial Stability: Franchises ka kharcha kam karna. Abhi ek team chalane ka cost BDT 8-9 crore tak chala jata hai.
- Player Welfare: Time pe salary mile taaki players ka trust wapas aaye aur top talent attract ho.
- League Ki Izzat: Boycotts aur fixing jaise controversies ke baad league ki credibility wapas laani hai.
- Sustainable Future: Franchises ko grassroots cricket mein invest karne ke liye encourage karna.
2024-25 Season Ki Problems
Last season mein, kai players ko pura paisa nahi mila. Dawid Malan aur Imran Tahir jaise stars ne openly criticize kiya. Kuch players ne to boycott bhi kar diya. Durbar Rajshahi sirf 25% payment de paayi jabki rule ke mutabik 75% payment zaroori tha season ke dauran. Is wajah se BCB ne khud foreign players ko direct pay karne ka decision liya. BCB president Faruque Ahmed ne franchise owners se personally baat karke payment clear karne ko bola hai.
Challenges – Sab Kuch Asaan Nahi Hai
- Dollar Crisis: Bangladesh ki economic situation tough hai. Dollar shortage ke kaaran foreign players ko USD mein payment karna tricky hai.
- Accountability: Kai franchises bank guarantee ya proper agreements nahi de rahi. Strict monitoring zaroori hai.
- Global T20 Competition: ILT20, SA20, PSL jaise leagues ke saath clash hone ke kaaran top players BPL mein nahi aate.
- Brand Value Down: Repeated controversies aur weak marketing se league ki image kaafi gir gayi hai.
Franchise Owners Ka Kya Kehna Hai?
Chattogram Challengers ke owner KM Rifatuzzaman kehte hain ki jab tak IPL jaisa proper revenue-sharing model nahi hoga, franchises profit nahi kama paayengi. Aaj ke din mein unka major income source sirf sponsorships hai. Rules ko franchise-friendly banana hoga.
Future Outlook – Kya Ye Model Kamiyab Hoga?
Agar sahi tarike se implement kiya gaya, toh ye revenue-sharing model BPL ke liye game-changer ban sakta hai. IPL jaisa system banane ka yeh pehla kadam hai. Agar ticket sales ke saath broadcasting aur sponsorship se bhi paisa share kiya gaya, toh franchises khud bhi talent development mein invest karengi. Khaled Mahmud ka kehna hai ki IPL jaise long-term planning aur scouting BPL ko bhi karni chahiye.
Lekin agar BCB ne financial discipline enforce nahi kiya, payment delays solve nahi kiye, aur basic cheezein jaise ticketing issues fix nahi kiye — toh ye model bhi fail ho sakta hai.
