Zimbabwe cricketers Sean Ervine and Sean Williams were left stranded at a Dhaka hotel in Bangladesh after their club failed to pay their hotel bills. The hotel confiscated their passports making it impossible for them to leave.
But that was not all. Ervine said he was paid for only three of the five matches that he played. He received an allowance for 14 days when he had been in the country for almost a month and was given an economy ticket to fly to London instead of a business class ticket.
Williams said he was owed US$1 500 in match fees, US$100 for visa costs and US$320 for a ticket from Bulawayo to Johannesburg.
“I want this to be a warning to future players and if needs be this should to go straight to the BCB to even suspend Brothers Union from the league,” Ervine was quoted as saying. “No one has taken the responsibility upon themselves to sort this issue out.”
Brothers Union is the Dhaka team the two played for.
