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.

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 players' auction returned to the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) after 12 years yesterday and its comeback was not without surprises as top-order batter Mohammad Naim fetched the highest price among all local players and some young up-and-comers earned bigger bucks than the veterans.

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

Opener Mohammad Naim Sheikh went to Chattogram Royals for 1 crore 10 lakh in the BPL auctions on Sunday.

The High Court has cleared the way for the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 12 players’ auction to go ahead as scheduled today, rejecting three writ petitions that challenged the exclusion of nine cricketers from the auction list.

Auctions in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), and the number 12, seem to have some sort of numeric connection.

The players’ auction for the 12th edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is set to take place today at a city hotel in Dhaka, where over 400 Bangladeshi and overseas cricketers will go under the hammer, and six franchises will bid for their desired recruits.

A day before the players' auction for the 12th Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), scheduled for today, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) excluded several local cricketers from the auction list who are under suspicion of being involved in fixing-related irregularities in the previous edition.

Like almost every Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) season that ends up marred, and often remembered for its comedy of errors, the upcoming edition seems determined to build on that fragile reputation.

Anamul Haque Bijoy, Mosaddek Hossain and several other players have been left out of the final list of local players for the upcoming auction of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

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.

After weeks of speculation, the governing council of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) announced on Tuesday that the 12th edition of the tournament will begin on December 19, featuring five teams.
