Parvez Hossain Emon played for Chittagong Kings in the last BPL. However, there was a lot of discussion about his contract money in the middle of the season. At that time, there was also criticism over the comments made by Chittagong Kings owner Samir Quader Chowdhury to the media.
This time, Samir once again explained the issue of Emon’s salary. A few days ago, the BCB sent a legal notice to Chittagong Kings demanding 46 crores. Apart from this, the media has reported that many players, coaches, and support staff are still unpaid. Samir Quader explained everything at a press conference today.
Regarding the issue of Emon and the team’s brand ambassador Shahid Afridi’s salary, Samir said, ‘(On the criticism of Emon and Afridi’s salary) the BCB is not responsible. These are my personal issues. The board did nothing about Afridi. In Emon’s case, there was a discussion of satisfaction. There were some things that I did not like. Later, there was no discussion, he went on leave. There was a discussion between the two of us, but later (the discussion) took place. The problem has been resolved.’
Samir also said, “How much is talked about the way we played in the semi-final and won? How many people talk about Alice. The work she did that day, it was a huge thing. Then she missed this season with an injury for 7-8 months. It’s not talked about much.”
