GP eager to remain with the Tigers
November 5th, 2007
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is expecting a much-improved financial package from title sponsorship of the national team for the next two years.
The board will open the tender tomorrow and the highest bidder would get the bragging rights for one of the major sponsorship deals of the country’s popular game.
Country’s leading cellular operator Grameen Phone have been the sponsors of the Tigers for the last four years and they are very keen to win the rights for a third successive term. They won the sponsorship rights for the last two years at the expense of Tk 3.5 crore that expired in June this year.
GP has remained a major sponsor of Bangladesh cricket for quite sometime. Apart from sponsoring the national cricket team, they have also sponsored several home series, domestic competitions and pacer hunt program. Grameen Phone have also struck a milestone financial deal of sponsoring the National Cricket Academy for five years.
