None of the skippers of Comilla Victorians and Fortune Barishal, who would play the final of the Bangladesh Premier League, was present during the captains' photo shoot ahead of the summit clash.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board arranged the photo shoot of the captains with the BPL trophy at the historical Ahsan Manzil museum.
But neither Tamim Iqbal, the skipper of Barishal, nor Liton Das, the captain of Comilla showed up.
Instead they sent their representatives with Mehedi Hasan Miraz representing Barishal and Jaker Ali Anik Comilla.
Both of them posed with the BPL trophy and attended the mandatory press conference.
Barishal will take on Comilla in the grand finale Friday at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
Comilla will be vying for a hat-trick of titles while Barishal will give it a shot for their first trophy.
