New Botswana Premier League (BPL) chairperson, Jagdish Shah has promised to make the organisation financially stable. Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, the millionaire businessman, who will be interim chairperson for three months, said he wants the BPL to have a “strong back pocket” after his tenure.

“In the BPL there are so many areas where we need to achieve. (It) may be the players’ welfare, the teams’ welfare, the financial sustainability or the sponsorship criteria.
