Umpires stage a walkout; Shuvo's blow to the neck
ESPNcricinfo picks eight talking points from DPL 2016

Tamim Iqbal's heated exchange with the umpires that led to the calling-off of the Prime Doleshwar -Abahani match was one of the lows in this year's DPL • Daily Star
There is little doubt that Dhaka Premier League is Bangladesh's most competitive domestic tournament, but over the years it had been two to three clubs vying for the title till the very end. This year, however, all six Super League teams had a fair shot, something that had not happened in this league for the last two decades.
Umpires Tanvir Ahmed and Gazi Sohel walked out of the Abahani-Doleshwar Super League game on June 12, citing illness, and the game wasn't played on the reserve day, June 13. Nine days later, the BCB decided to award both teams a point each and declare the match a no-result.
There were also allegations of unfairness levelled at the Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis, the BCB committee that runs the league. The Abahani-Doleshwar first-phase game was shifted to the BKSP-3 ground from Mirpur on short notice. Abahani played eight of their 16 matches at that venue.
Suhrawadi Shuvo's blow to the back of his neck was a reminder to Bangladeshi batsmen to be more aware about adequate protection. Newly designed helmets with stem-guards are the need of the hour, and many players who are not centrally contracted by the BCB are now looking to buy one. Comfort is certainly an issue but as Tamim said on the day Shuvo got hit, comfort is a small price to pay for being safe.
Mashrafe Mortaza might be one of Bangladesh's best captains in the modern era, and despite the fact that he has lifted several domestic trophies, clubs this time were reluctant to pick him in the draft. Kalabagan Krira Chakra did so towards the end and Mashrafe produced a stellar performance. He finished with 22 wickets at an average of 20.22 and claimed a six-wicket haul against Rupganj. He also struck a 50-ball century against Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club.
Bangladesh has produced several left-arm spinners over the years, but this season a few right-arm offspinners made their case. While Bangladesh allrounder Mahmudullah lived up to the billing of the draft's No 1 pick with 21 wickets in 11 matches, the likes of Mosaddek Hossain, Nahidul Islam and Habibur Rahman were among the offspin-bowling all-rounders to have made a mark.
Victoria's players had threatened to meet the BCB after their scheduled payment wasn't made by club officials. They were promised 60% pay during the Super League, which they did not receive. The players wanted to go to the BCB again but that plan had to change after Shuvo got struck in the back of the neck against Abahani in Mirpur. Players from two other clubs have also complained of not being paid on time.
BCB had laid a out plans of catching bowlers with suspected actions but it took them two months, almost the entire length of the league, to form the bowling action review committee.
