In a press statement on Friday, the Gladiators said, "It has been observed that there is confusion with Dhaka Gladiator's foreign cricketer, Shahid Afridi's availability for the first edition of Bangladesh Premier League.

"This is to inform all that it has always been mentioned by the BPL Governing Body that Afridi will be only available on February 28 and 29 and the Dhaka franchise was well aware of the situation.

"The former Pakistan skipper not being available for BPL 2012 is only a rumour as both Afridi and his agent have confirmed about his presence for Dhaka Gladiators on the mentioned dates."

The media manager of the Gladiators, Minhaz Uddin Khan, told bdnews24.com over phone that the franchise totally disregarded media reports to the contrary and said that both Afridi and spinner Saeed Ajmal would be available on the aforesaid dates after the ODI series with England in the UAE.

He added that the players' national cricket board (PCB) was aware of the matter and had no objections to their playing the inaugural edition of the BPL, which is modelled on the successful Indian Premier League.
