Sahara bids $9.4m for four-year Bangladesh sponsorship deal

"The national team sponsorship, which is the main component of the tenders that we had invited, has been offered 2.3 million dollars per year by Sahara," Kamal said. "We expect the revenue to be around Tk 110 crore during this four-year period. It was unimaginable a few years ago but more than the money, I think it will be a turning point if we can have Sahara with us.

They signed an MoU with the Bangers government to build a township near Dhaka. Makes sense to be more recognized in the country by associating themselves with the cricket team.
