Our players earn perhaps over 40,000 Taka a year, depending on what grade of player he is, and the other way to look at it is - the thing that someone mentioned - we always look into our cost and our availability of money when we go visit a new country.
As of yesterday's dollar rate:
1 USD = 67 Taka
therefore, USD 40= Taka 2680, mere a pocket change for our national team players, who earns around 15 thousand taka per test and 10,000 per odi ( if im not mistaken).

Plus they earn between 40,000- 60,000 taka per month (depending on the grade) while they are under BCB contract.

Taking account for daily allowances on tour, lets say the whole Safari tour was of around 16 days, they earned around another USD 50 X 16 = USD 1000 = Taka 67,000

Lets say our Tigers play 20 ODI per year and 8 test matches per year

20 X 10,000 = Taka 200,000
8 X 15,000 = Taka 120,000
12 X 50,000 = Taka 600,000 ( median of TK 50,000 for every player on BCB contract)
30 X USD 50 = Taka 100,500 ( i.e., spending 30 days a year on tour overseas)
------------------------------------------------------
Grand Total = Taka 1,020,500 approx

Plus personal commercial contracts.

Whats the big deal of spending 40 bucks on zoo then?

May be our Tareq Mahmood was jealous as he was in tight budget. may be none of the Tigers wanted to chip in for his admission and rightly so.

A good R&R is also part of the preparation.
I see no harm why our players cant spend the day off enjoying the sight-seeing in a foreign land!! And if they are spending money out of thier own pocket, with supervised visit by the officials,

Who's father's what?
Kar baper ki?
