Icon players:
As far as the franchisees are concerned, each one of them is assigned an icon player. Therefore, DYNAMITES will be represented by NASIR HOSSAIN while COMILLA has MASHRAFE MURTAZA as the icon player. Similarly, the talented and experienced all rounder SHAKIB UL HASAN will spearhead Rangpur Riders while TAMIN IQBAL is the icon of Chittagong Vikings. Wicket keeper MUSHIFIQUR RAHIM and MAHMDULLAH RIYAD will be the icon player of Sylhet Super Stars and Barisal Bulls respectively.
Selection of players:
Players were selected by the team according to the lottery system. BPL avoided the bidding system. Moreover, 4 foreign players can play in each team; therefore the level of competition will be quite high. Each team can have 12 international players in their ranks.
Player’s fees:
The league will have 4 grades of players namely A, B, C and D. Cricketers belonging to a grade will get 70,000 USD while B, C and D will get 50,000, 40000 and 30000 respectively. Many international players can get more money from the franchise however they have to do it at their own risk.
Ticket Price:
One of the most important facts about the ticket is that a spectator can watch 2 matches with a single entry. There are many types of tickets with lowest priced at 200 BDT and the highest being 10,000 BDT. People can also buy tickets worth 500 and 1000 BDT.
As far as the title and stadium sponsorship is concerned, the BRB cable is managing the major portion of the expenditure.
Interesting players to watch out for are as follows:
- Dhaka Dynamites: One of the best names playing for dynamites this season is KUMAR SANGKARA. He has retired from international cricket and has focused on playing t20 leagues across the world. MUSTAFIZUR REHMAN, the wicket keeper will be the man to watch out for apart from YASIR SHAH and MOHAMMAD IRFAN.
- CHITTAGONG VIKINGS: Apart from the icon player Tamim Iqbal, take a look at CHAMARA KAPUGEDERA, TASKIN AHMED and YASIR ALI CHOWDHURY. They can turn the game within few minutes and smother the opposition.
