Mathamota Papon is picking a fight with IPL over Ireland tour, a tour where backup players should be tried anyway. BCCI and IPL owners are not taking it kindly.

Bangladesh players could face SHADOW Ban at IPL 2024 Auction as BCCI & Franchises NOT HAPPY with BCB on players’ NOC
Quote:
“It is what it is. We can’t complain because it’s the BCCI that negotiates with other boards. But of course, franchises will be sceptical about picking players from certain countries. If you see, Taskin (Ahmed) did not get the NOC and now this. If they don’t want their players to play, they should not register. But, for sure, the perception about Bangladeshi players will change in future,” a franchise official told InsideSport

“It is completely up to the players to convince their boards. England, New Zealand and other prominent boards have figured out a way to maintain the status quo. Nobody can deny the popularity of IPL and by releasing players, boards get their share as well. But if they decide otherwise, it is up to them,” a senior BCCI official told InsideSport.
Our players getting exposure at IPL would have ultimately benefited our national team, especially given that World Cup is in India this year. Unfortunately, Papon and Co are too shortsighted to realize that.
