The transfer window for football players in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) concluded on August 23. No team purchased Jamal Bhuiyan, the captain of the national squad and a midfielder. He will be absent from the BPL at the start of the season.
Assuming perfect execution, the changeover period would have concluded three days prior.
FIFA granted Bafuf’s request to prolong the transfer period by three days. Throughout this period, Jamal’s agency could not locate any team; regrettably, no club extended him a contract. Jamal was part of the Abahani Limited team during the previous season.
At that time, it was widely known that he intended to join the same club. Jamal is a Danish expatriate player with Bangladeshi heritage.
Nevertheless, despite the change in its political position, the club did not enter into a contract with Jamal.
Jamal Bhuiyan and the Abahani team proudly field a squad of thirty-two indigenous football players, showcasing their confidence in local talent.
The recent withdrawals of Sheikh Russell Krira Chakra and Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club from the Premier competition have created opportunities for other skilled footballers to step up and make their mark.
This presents a prime opportunity for these players to secure contracts and contribute significantly to the national football squad.
