The BPL has long been plagued by controversies and organisational shortcomings, with the board struggling to establish a sustainable business model despite the tournament being more than a decade old.
In contrast, leagues such as the Pakistan Super League (PSL), which started later, have earned widespread praise for their structure and professionalism.
A month ago, BCB President Tamim Iqbal made his stance clear, saying it would be better not to hold the tournament than to hand over franchises through makeshift arrangements and reduced financial guarantees.
Fahim reiterated that the board's position remains unchanged. He revealed that the BCB is currently working on a new business model for the BPL, which will be presented to potential investors and corporate entities in an effort to attract committed franchise owners.
"Tamim Iqbal and I addressed this issue in a press conference a few days ago, and we are still in the same position," Fahim said.
"Right now, we are focused on preparing a business model. Once it is ready, we will approach different organisations and present it to them."
He added that while the board remains optimistic about hosting the tournament, the quality of franchise ownership will be a decisive factor.
"We are still hopeful, but if we cannot find at least five or six franchises of the standard we are looking for, then we may consider skipping the tournament for a year."
