Bangladesh 'rebels' cricketers fail to meet with BCB [September 16 2008]

The Bangladesh Cricket Board was boosted after receiving pledges of support from several cricketers linked with the rebel Indian Cricket League, but the six players who retired over the weekend failed to turn up at the BCB headquarters as requested to discuss the situation.

The BCB had asked the six to meet with officials yesterday, but none of them have turned up. Former captain Habibul Bashar and wicketkeeper Dhiman Ghosh were believed to have left the country for India, while the exact whereabouts of the remaining four players were not known.
