‘’I think we will be able to get the money from the market despite corona because apart from IPL we are seeing that home series are happening quite successfully around the globe and we are confident that will be the case here as well considering BCB had proved they are capable of producing a leak-proof bio bubble,’’ Ban Tech chief executive AGM Sabbir told reporters on Tuesday.

‘’The production cost is included in our deal but BCB will do the production. We are hoping that we can have more series in the time frame and if that is the case we will have to pay on pro-rata basis while if any series is postponed our payment will be deducted on pro-rata basis as well,’’ he said.
