Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) was started first in 2012. The tournament was inspired by the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the first tournament, 6 franchises participated corresponding to the 6 divisions of Bangladesh. They were: Dhaka Gladiators, Duronto Rajshahi, Chittagong Kings, Barisal Burners, Khulna Royal Bengals and Sylhet Royals. The second season was even more exciting by the addition of another team Rangpur Riders. Mashrafe Mortaza led Dhaka Gladiators to glory on both occasions. Barisal Burners were the runners-up in 2012 and Chittagong Kings were the runners-up in 2013. BPL didn’t occur for more than 2 years. So, this season will be even more exciting one.
Bangladesh Premier League BPL T20 2015 will be starting on 20th November, 2015. This will be the third season of this heavily exciting tournament. The first and second season champion was Dhaka Gladiators. Can they win this one also and make a hat-trick? Let’s wait and see.
