Good fortune Barishal’s owner, Mizanur Rahman, told the Bangladeshi publication ‘The Daily Star’ that Miller didn’t put off his wedding, despite Akram’s baseless accusations. “No, none of this [information] is true at all. These are fraudulent reports that are utterly wrong,” he declared.
Salary Issue
“More than just financial reasons, he stayed because of his emotion—the emotional connection he had formed with the Barishal team members. Wasim Akram was part of the team? I am aware of Miller’s salary. Thus, these assertions are untrue,” he continued.
It should be mentioned that Fortune Barishal defeated Comilla Victorians in the BPL final on March 1. Miller, meanwhile, recently got married to Camilla Harris, his longtime girlfriend. Camilla herself revealed the happy event, posting photos of their big day to her Instagram account.
