Daniel Vettori asks Bangladesh Cricket Board to donate part of his salary to low-income staffers

Bangladesh’s contracted cricketers, the Under-19 cricketers, and the players’ association have all donated money towards the fight against coronavirus, while the BCB itself has donated around a large sum — Taka 3.61 crore ($428,000 approx.). The senior team came forward to donate half of their salaries to the government in March.

Vettori’s appointment was part of a coaching staff overhaul that Bangladesh undertook after the 2019 ICC World Cup. He was part of the Bangladesh backroom staff when they toured India last year for a two-Test series, the second of which was the first time either side had played a day-night Test match. The match was played in front of a packed Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
