The Board announced a salary of Taka 40,000 each for the three-man national selection panel led by Faruque Ahmed. Two other selectors are Athar Ali Khan and GM Nowsher Prince.

The decision was made after a six-hour meeting at the BCB's management office in Gulshan on Tuesday.

The marathon meeting, chaired by Board president Ali Asghar, however expressed concern at the recent uncalled for incident in Pakistan that the Bangladesh team had to fly in economy class from Rawalpindi to Multan.

The meeting also issued a warning to Bangladesh manager MA Latif for his interview in Urdu before the first Test at Karachi last month. The manager, who is a retired army officer, was also cautioned for failing to act strongly over the flight discrimination.
