Brothers Union cricketers boycotted a match in the Premier League due to unpaid wages, resulting in a walkover for their opponents, Agrani Bank. The players claimed they received only 20% of their due wages despite repeated demands. BCB President Tamim Iqbal held a meeting with the club and players, advising patience and suggesting a letter to avoid relegation. Brothers Union frequently faces wage disputes and has a poor season record with only one win in nine matches.

The club requested Tamim to prevent their relegation, to which he advised them to write a letter. However, the likelihood of this letter being a mere formality is high, as any action beyond the rules would be required to prevent relegation. Brothers Union is likely to be relegated due to their position at the bottom of the points table regardless of the match boycott.
