A case has been filed in opposition to Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, alleging that the possession of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) group Sylhet Strikers was as soon as “forcibly taken” from an expatriate Bangladeshi within the US.
Per the case file, the plaintiff, Sarwar Golam Chowdhury, lodged the case at Pallabi Police Web page in Mirpur, Dhaka, on Monday. On the time of shopping the Sylhet Strikers group within the BPL, Sarwar was as soon as the chairman of the group.
Following the incident, Sylhet Strikers issued an loyal recount on social media. In the recount, launched on their loyal page, the BPL franchise refuted the possession claim made within the lawsuit, pointing out that the solutions mentioned within the case was as soon as counterfeit. The recount clarified that Mashrafe has never been an proprietor of the Sylhet franchise, neither is he now. Due to this fact, the seek files from of forcibly taking possession does no longer come up. The recount also mentioned that the supreme matters shall be dealt with primarily primarily based totally on the law.
Right here is the recount from Sylhet Strikers:
“No longer even one percent of the possession of Sylhet Strikers has ever belonged to Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, and it level-headed does no longer. There just isn’t any longer any seek files from of forcibly taking possession. The possession paperwork held by the BCB also pause no longer level out Mashrafe’s name.
Now, enable us to convey you a tale. Sylhet Strikers made a huge develop when they first participated within the BPL. Below Mashrafe’s captaincy, we finished as runners-up. Our professionalism, each and every on and off the self-discipline, our ability to engage of us from all walks of existence in Sylhet as wisely as supporters across the nation, and our presentation on digital platforms had been all highly praised. No topic that, why did our group-building project crumple within the 2nd season?
Firstly, 60% of Sylhet Strikers’ possession belonged to Sarwar Golam Chowdhury. He was as soon as actively working with the co-owners. Alternatively, when it came to paying the avid gamers and overlaying other costs, he progressively began to withdraw. He left for the United States, leaving within the support of a couple of crore taka unpaid, together with wages for heaps of cricketers and a few administration members, operational costs, and varied other costs. No topic repeated assurances, he took no motion when contacted.
Many members of the Sylhet Strikers group, together with cricketers, coaches, administration, and others linked with the franchise, are responsive to this. At remaining, unable to determine the unpaid dues, he voluntarily relinquished his possession to the other co-owners in August of remaining 365 days. Now we have copies of his email and all linked paperwork. He also knowledgeable the BCB by strategy of email about his dedication to step down. Sooner than the next BPL season, the unique owners had to undergo the burden of settling the old money owed. This fact shall be identified to everybody linked with the franchise.
In total, we confronted such hardship while clearing frail money owed that we did no longer have sufficient funds to form a solid group for the 2nd season. We had been handiest in a collection to self-discipline a group within a limited budget and aimed to total the match in anyway imaginable. We couldn’t lift in high-quality foreign cricketers. For this, we confronted many questions from Sylhet’s cricket followers and supporters, but the truth was as soon as complex for us.
Now, as the nation stands on the cusp of a brand unique generation following latest changes, another folks are attempting to map shut serve of the assert of affairs for non-public produce. Due to this fact, out of responsibility to Sylhet Strikers’ fans and supporters, and to cricket followers within the nation, we are presenting our stance. The correct matters shall be handled by the supreme project.”
