But the only problem was that the board imposed an embargo on the players to disclose the details of the marathon meeting that took place at BCB's management office in Gulshan on Sunday.

The board invited Habibul Bashar's men in an open discussion so that it could assess what went wrong in Sri Lanka where the Tigers lost both the Test and one-day series badly.

"We have enjoyed the lively discussion and most of the players addressed some off-the-filed issues to be solved for a better performance," said a cricketer on condition of anonymity.

"It is not wise to allow too many people in the dressing room. The players always feel uncomfortable if any selector sits with them in the dressing room. Besides, the practice schedule before and during any series has been far from the desired standard."

The players however welcomed the board's recent policy of 'domestic cricket is a must for any senior call ups'.

"To be honest we have never felt the urgency of playing in domestic competitions before because we were confused about its importance in the selection process. Besides, the players showed reluctance to play especially in the National League because of a loose confederation with their respective divisions," said a senior player.

It was learnt that vice-captain Khaled Mahmud, former national captain Khaled Mahmud and two young players were vocal in the meeting. Bashar was however surprisingly submissive and only showed his interest about financial issues.

BCB general secretary Mahbub Anam, joint-secretary Reazuddin Al Mamun and CEO Macky Dudhia spoke on behalf of the board.
