Shocking Revelation: Wasim Akram Unveils the Stunning Rs 1.3 Crore Offer to David Miller for Just 3 Bangladesh Premier League Games!
David Miller Postpones Wedding for Lucrative BPL Stint, Reveals Wasim Akram
In a remarkable revelation, former Pakistan cricket captain Wasim Akram disclosed that South African cricketer David Miller postponed his wedding to participate in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024. Miller, who played for Fortune Barishal, was reportedly offered a substantial $150,000 for just three matches, amounting to approximately Rs 1.24 crores. His contribution was instrumental in leading Fortune Barishal to their first-ever BPL championship victory.
During the finals held on March 1 at Dhaka’s Sher-e-Bangla Stadium, Barishal faced Comilla Victorians. Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, Barishal restricted the Victorians to 154 runs, thanks to a solid 38-run inning by Mahidul Islam Akon. In response, key performances from captain Tamim Iqbal and Kyle Mayers secured Barishal’s triumph with David Miller delivering the winning boundary, clinching victory by six wickets.
Wasim Akram shared this insight during a March 12 episode of ‘The Pavilion’ on A Sports, as part of his analysis of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024. Akram also critiqued Abdullah Shafique for his subdued celebration in a recent PSL match. Shafique, playing as a substitute fielder for Lahore Qalandars against Islamabad United on March 7, took an impressive catch off Imad Wasim but celebrated by placing a finger on his lips—a gesture that met with criticism from a prominent former Pakistani cricketer. The cricketer pointed out Shafique’s earlier missed catches during Pakistan’s Test series against Australia.
This account highlights the high stakes and significant financial rewards involved in contemporary T20 leagues, coupled with the personal commitments top players often navigate to contribute to their teams’ successes.
