The National Sports Council (NSC) has set up a three-member fact-finding committee to probe the issue of unpaid player wages in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20, as confirmed in an NSC statement on Wednesday.

"The NSC has taken into notice several reports in the media about the payment of players in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League.

The ongoing 11th edition of the BPL has been marred by issues of unpaid player wages. Durbar Rajshahi has been at the center of most violations, with their players boycotting a practice session in Chattogram and all foreign recruits refusing to play a match in Dhaka due to non-payment.
