It has been observed that the entertainment industry thrives during a recession and cricket is proving no exception.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board's board of directors has increased the salary of the national players and local staff in the team management by 30%.

Now it is up to the Bangladeshi cricketers to remember that in a country where poverty is prevalent, they are privileged and only by excelling in cricket, they can bring joy to their brethren.

WHAT PROMPTED THE INCREASE. ANY GUESS. FOR CRICKETERS PAY NEED NOT BE COMMENSURATE WITH PERFORMANCE.

In these times 30% is more than a miracle. Doubt that it would do much to them, though.

Probably the Bangladeshi cricket establishment got a big fat cheque from BCCI.

I agree with you with the rest of the comment.
