Six teams- Dhaka, Chattogram Challengers, Fortune Barishal, Sylhet Sunrisers, Khulna Tigers and Cumilla Victorians – will take part in the championship. Due to the BCB giving only one-year contracts, a number of teams had pulled out from the upcoming edition of the league.
Here are all the squads for the upcoming after BPL 2022 Players’ draft
Dhaka : BPL 2022 Players’ draft
The Dhaka franchise had an overnight change in ownership after the initial bidders – Rupa Fabrics Limited and Marn Steel Limited – were ineligible as they failed to pay the BDT five crore (approx $583,000) pre-tournament fees within the stipulated time. According to reports, the BCB kept ownership of the Dhaka team, with chief selector Habibul Bashar seen making bids for players during the draft.
