Former Bangladesh captain Khaled Mahmud, also a former director of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), has seen all the corridors of BCB, club cricket and franchise cricket in the country. Mahmud, who is coaching Dhaka Capitals in what has been a lacklustre campaign in the Bangladesh Premier League so far, gave his insights about the ongoing payment issues in the BPL, the state of his team and their star batter Liton Das, and Dhaka’s club cricket scenario in an interview with The Daily Star’s Abdullah Al Mehdi. The excerpts of the interview are as follows:
