Dhaka: Bangladesh cricketers went on strike on Monday, saying that they wouldn't take part in any cricket activity until their demands are addressed. Interestingly, the players' strike does put a question mark on their upcoming tour of India, which is scheduled to be held in November.
- National cricketers including Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim gathered at the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Academy ground to put forward an 11-point demand and announced that they have gone on a strike and will boycott all cricket-related activities.
- According to report, there are issues of the salary cap in the seventh edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and the cricket governing body also did not raise the match fees in the first-class competition that began earlier this month.
The players on Monday invited journalists for a press conference where they announced their decision.
Bangladesh are slated to play three T20 matches and a two-match Test series in India in November with the first T20I slated to begin on November 3 in Delhi.
