Khelaghar Samaj Kalyan Samity picked Anamul Haque. Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis chairman Kazi Inam Ahmed following a successful draft informed that the committee’s primary ambition is to ensure the club clears 50% payment of the players and also standard of umpiring in the tournament. The clubs have been given deadline to clear 50% players’ remuneration by January 30. The CCDM boss believes the grading of players for the draft was done successfully by the selectors. “It was becoming tough for some Dhaka League clubs to cope with the expenses. The selectors did the grading after speaking to the players. We believe the players are happy about the draft,” said Inam to the media. Regarding the advance payment of the players, Inam said, “The clubs had to clear 50% payment of the players they had retained and all of them met the deadline. I would like to thank the clubs for that and expect similar support in the coming days.” Dhaka Premier League has been hit with controversies over below standard umpiring in the recent past. The CCDM does not plan to involve any foreign umpire in the tournament but want to improve the standard of the local umpires.

“We all want to see good umpiring. Last year cameras were placed on the field both by a few clubs and the board and it will be the same this season too. There were not many complaints with the umpires last season and I hope it will remain the same this year too. I already spoke to the umpire’s committee chairman and vice chairman and they have assured me of good umpiring. The clubs are expecting a composed and competitive season,” Inam concluded.RETAINED PLAYERS' LISTGazi Group Cricketers: Mominul Haque Showrab, Mohammad Jahurul Islam Omi, Nadif Chowdhury, Mehedi Hasan and Abu Haider RonyPrime Doleshwar Sporting Club: Mohammad Farhad Reza, Imtiaz Hossain Tanna, Marshall Ayub, Arafat Sunny and Mohammad SharifullahAbahani Limited: Mosaddek Hossain Saikat, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Sanjamul Islam Nayan, Saif Hasan and Mohammad MithunPrime Bank Cricket Club: Mehedi Maruf, Mohammad Zakir Hasan, Ariful Hoque, Mohammad Al Amin Jr and Mohammad NahidulMohammedan Sporting Club Limited: Taijul Islam, Rakibul Hasan Jr, Shamsur Rahman Shuvo, Rony Talukdar and Subashish Roy ChowdhuryLt.
