Sylhet Sixers batter Towhid Hridoy scored his second fifty of the tournament to help take his side to a five-wicket win over defending champions Comilla Victorians at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Monday.

With the Bangladesh Premier League showing signs of life, the off-field conundrums relating to the BPL have also found new jesty talking points with Fortune Barishal skipper Shakib Al Hasan coming up with yet another witty banter in response to a question that asked the all-rounder what he would do if he were to actually assume the role of CEO of the BPL.

The ninth edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is seeing a positive revolution as far as leadership is concerned, with relatively younger players looking to take the charge ahead of proven seniors.

No Hawk-eye ball tracking, no snickometer and no DRS in the ninth edition of the BPL pointed to a failure of the logistical nature. For two days, the first match of the day produced low scores but while that responsibility also lay with the batting sides, who has not heard of tired wickets at Mirpur over the past few years?

Shakib Al Hasan’s entertaining fifty went in vain as Sylhet Strikers pulled off the third-highest successful run-chase in the history of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) to gun down Fortune Barishal by six wickets in the days’ second fixture at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Saturday.

Professionalism and proper culture are huge facets in making a T20 franchise league tick in the global landscape but the BPL has not found the continuity over the years that was required to bolster the overall quality of the league. One of the key reasons behind that, as BCB director and Khulna Tigers coach Khaled Mahmud pointed out, is the revenue sharing model currently in place.

Former Sri Lanka pacer Chaminda Vaas mentioned he was excited and looking forward to his first stint in the Bangladesh Premier League as coach of the Dhaka Dominators. 

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced that the tickets for the ninth edition of the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) will go on sale from Wednesday. The tickets for the first two games of the opening day will be up for sale on Wednesday, BCB announced in a media release.

Mehedi Hasan Miraz was one of the top performers for Bangladesh last year, especially in terms of coming through for the Tigers with the bat alongside doing his usual bit as an ever-reliable off-spinner.
