The 11th season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) has been marred by controversies, including dissatisfaction with ticket sales, suspicions of match-fixing, and unpaid player salaries. One of the major concerns has been the franchise "Durbar Rajshahi," which has been in the spotlight for failing to pay players their salaries on time.
Arsenal delivered a statement win by thrashing Manchester City 5-1 at the Emirates, closing the gap to Premier League leaders Liverpool to six points.
Durbar Rajshahi's overseas players are effectively stranded at their team hotel in Dhaka due to the franchise repeatedly missing payment deadlines. Despite their attempts to reach out for updates, the team owner and management have not responded to the players, who are now waiting for tickets to return home. As of the time of this report, the players remain in Dhaka.
