Sohan opened up about BCB's corruption
During the quota reform movement, cricketer Nurul Hasan Sohan expressed his solidarity by posting on social media. This wicketkeeper-batter has been active in the anti-discrimination student movement and expressed his views on behalf of the students several times.
He urged the cricket board to stay away from politics and corruption. Sheikh Hasina's government departed in that movement. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hasan Papon and most of the board directors cannot be found.
Nurul Hasan Sohan spoke about corruption in first-class cricket among many other issues after training in Mirpur on Sunday (August 11). He said, "The last time I played first-class cricket, the jerseys for the divisional teams were paid by the BCB for Rs. 3 lakh. I have seen this with my own eyes, since I was the captain.
However, he said that jerseys should be made for much less than that, "Jerseys for 30 players have been made for 80,000 taka, which is not worth wearing." It was in charge of the (Departmental Party) Secretary. He was the same for 14-15 years. If this happens in first class cricket... Later we players made the jersey with our own money.
At that time, Sohan also raised questions about the umpiring in the Dhaka League, "There are many cameras and media focus in the Premier League, so there is nothing much about umpiring here for the last two years. But first, second and third division cricket doesn't have media focus and cameras so a lot happens there. Which we will know later.'
Sohan, who played a total of 64 matches in the jersey of the national team, also highlighted the financial plight of the cricketers at the lower level, "I have been around the national team for a long time. Alhamdulillah, being on contract I am getting a good salary. First division, second division, third division—what is their status?'
