BCB ends contract with Aamby Valley

The BCB has revealed it has ended its contract with Aamby Valley, an affiliate of Sahara India Parivar, 15 months before it was scheduled to end. The board is now looking for a new team sponsor for the home series against Pakistan this month.

The BCB had sold team sponsorship rights to Aamby Valley in June 2012, in a $14 million four-year deal that was the biggest in Bangladesh cricket. The contract was supposed to end in June 2016 but a BCB advertisement in a national daily on March 30 marked the end of the alliance.

Chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury confirmed the BCB had ended the contract with Sahara, but did not want to disclose the financial implications of the termination.

"We have decided not to continue our contract with Sahara," Nizamuddin told ESPNcricinfo. "That's why we have given an advertisement for a new team sponsor for the Pakistan series. We cannot speak about the deal [with Sahara] at this moment."

Sound like fallout from - ".......sob, sob, I never get to give Clarkey de trophy and complain in my speech how dem umpires were instructed to mek sure my beloved Bangladesh get jook. If wasn't for de jooking we woulda won de tournament"
