The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) governing council has released the fixtures for the upcoming 12th edition of the tournament, which is set to begin in Sylhet on December 26. The final is scheduled for January 23 in Dhaka, with January 24 kept as the reserve day. This year’s BPL will be played across three phases in Sylhet, Chattogram, and Dhaka.

On the eve of the T20I series against Ireland last week in Chattogram, Litton Das vented his frustration over the squad selection carried out by the selectors. He publicly revealed that Shamim Hossain had been dropped without his knowledge, triggering widespread debate.

When Litton Das was asked on Tuesday whether he was satisfied with fetching Tk 70 lakh at the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) auction on Sunday, he stopped the reporter mid-question and asked with a smirk, “Wasn’t it 75 lakh? I thought it was 75!”

The Cricketers Welfare Association of Bangladesh (CWAB) has formally written to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) seeking an explanation for the exclusion of several players from the 2025-26 Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) auction list.

Twelve years -- that’s how long the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) went without an auction. And with unexpected surprises, unprecedented requests, and an overall underwhelming foreign-player pool, Sunday’s return to the auction table was, in many ways, reflective of the BPL’s fragile reputation.

The BPL returned to auction system after a gap of 12 years with Naim Sheikh snapped up for the highest price amongst local players.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board president Aminul Islam Bulbul has announced that they are planning to start the Women's Bangladesh Premier League very soon.

The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) Governing Council is still waiting for reports from BCB's Anti-Corruption Committee's consultant Alex Marshall before finalising the list of both local and foreign players ahead of the players' auction scheduled for November 30.

Last year, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) introduced the T20 iteration of the National Cricket League (NCL) to expose domestic players to competitive T20 cricket and help Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) franchises identify local talent.

The tournament will now begin on December 26, instead of the previously announced December 19.

With the 12th edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20 fast approaching, the six participating franchises have already begun assembling their squads and finalising their coaching and managerial setups.

Noakhali Express is the new team, joining Dhaka Capitals, Chattogram Royals, Rajshahi Warriors, Rangpur Riders, and Sylhet Titans .

This edition of Pitch Perfect takes a closer look at those concerns.

Despite a five-day extension to secure mandatory bank guarantees from all five franchises, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) remains off track.

The players’ auction is set to return to the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) after a 12-year hiatus, with the BPL Governing Council confirming November 23 as the auction date.

While the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has implemented financial safeguards to prevent a repeat of last season's payment fiasco in the upcoming Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), it has been far less proactive on the issue of ensuring the league's integrity.

The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) governing council of the Bangladesh Cricket Board confirmed on Thursday the list of participating franchises for the forthcoming edition of the BPL T20.
