Bangla National Cricket Stadium: The toss for the Bangladesh Premier League's match between Chattogram Royals and Noakhali Express was delayed on Thursday after players refused to show up at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium following a humiliation by Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) finance committee chairman Najmul Islam.

The match was scheduled for a 1:00 pm start, with the toss slated for 12:30 pm and the match alone stands alone in the middle after both captains decided not to appear for the toss.

This came after Najmul insulted the cricketers, stating that only the players stood to lose out if Bangladesh didn't play the T20 World Cup and that the BCB wouldn't compensate the players for the earnings loss.
