Bangladeshi umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat is the only ICC elite panel umpire in the country and this time he would be conducting quite a few matches in the BPL, unlike in previous years.

To honour the only ICC elite panel umpire, Saikat would be given 2000 dollars per match, umpires' committee chairman Iftekhar Ahmed Mithu informed on Friday.

Saikat, who began this BPL with the Chittagong Kings vs Khulna Tigers match on Thursday, will conduct six games overall. He would not, however, be able to conduct the final or playoffs as he is likely to conduct matches in the India-England series.

The per-match salary has been improved across the board for umpires. Local umpires were being paid Tk 35,000 TK per match previously and it has been bumped up to Tk 50,000 this tournament. For international umpires, salary has been increased from 500 dollars per game to 600 dollars.
