Bangladesh Premier League (2025-26) - Discussion Thread

Glad to see a decent knock by Farhan


Need everyone to find as much form as poasible before the world T20.
 
I know not many would be following this, but Usman Khan is displaying some real shady batting.

Blatantly obvious what he was trying to do.
 
Usman khan playing upto his max ceiling .. yet another score of under 25 for him today in BPL

21 off 15 balls for him..
 
Quite obvious it was the latter, but I don't want to say it outright without any proof.

Ramiz's reaction was hilarious to say the least, I'm sure he realized what was going on :shappy
What was Usman exactly doing that made you think this way?
 
Saim Ayub has been disappointing , I expected better from him. Good thing my team got Omarzai, high quality match winner.
 
I think this is a good practice for the players because World T20 may have similar pitches.

BD pitches and SL pitches are often similar.

Sylhet do well in patches. They have never won the BPL. Can they do it this time?

Anyway, I root for Rangpur Riders.

Nope, never won it. Lost the final once in 2022, and topped the group in one season. This edition of BPL, could be the year.
 
Hassan nawaz wins the match for chattogram on a final ball 35 not out played the game to its situation showing its not all muscle has some game awareness as well
 
Aamer Jamal and Hasan Nawaz star as Chattogram Royals beat Rajshahi Warriors in BPL 2026

Pakistan pacer took 3/23 to restrict the opponents to a modest 128, while Hasan contributed with 35* (36) and (1/13), guiding his team to a two-wicket victory.

Aamer is currently 4th highest wicket-taker of BPL 2026.
 
I honestly dont understand why IPL and WPL is valued so highly. These T20 leagues are meant to be watched if you have spare time maybe on the weekends people can try to catch a game or two. But the real purpose is to see who has the most runs/wickets and emerging new players, etc at the end of the tournament.
 
Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Mritunjoy Choudary should be developed into pace allrounders. Both can hit 140k speeds and can whack few shots.
 

BCB issues clarity on their Integrity Unit's routine operations​


Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) Integrity Unit on Sunday (January 11) mentioned that routine integrity operations in response to credible suspicion are being conducted for the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League under ICC's global integrity framework.

Recently, two franchises - Dhaka Capitals and Noakhali Express - took a swipe at the members of BCB's Integrity Unit (BCB IU), headed by its independent chairman Alex Marshall, for giving them a tough time in the name of investigation.

Dhaka Capitals chief executive officer Atik Fahad on Friday (January 9) publicly expressed his frustration over the activities of BCB IU during the ongoing BPL and threatened to quit BPL in future.

Fahad also revealed that IU officials entered Afghanistan wicketkeeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz's hotel room early in the morning without prior appointment or informing the franchise management, leaving the foreign cricketer totally confused. It prompted Gurbaz to say that he will not come to the tournament if such thing continues in future.

Noakhali Express showed similar discontent with the activities of IU members that included lodging protests against a member after being harassed in the dressing room.

"Routine integrity operations in response to credible suspicion are being conducted for BPL-12 under ICC's global integrity framework," BCB said in a statement.

"Such measures by BCB IU are part of BCB's zero-tolerance policy and drive against corrupt cricketing activities. BCB IU operates in accordance with the general processes under prevailing anti-corruption code of ICC. Therefore, there has been no violation of the rights of any player or Franchisee Personnel by BCB IU team in any way," it said.

"These preventive measures by BCB IU have resulted in an approximately 80 percent reduction in alerts relating to suspicious activities," it said.

"As part of standard integrity procedures, several foreign players have been spoken to privately as witnesses in order to verify recruitment processes, contractual arrangements and payment structures. Such meetings are confidential and preventive in nature and do not imply that any player is under investigation or has already been found guilty," he added.

BCB reiterated about its zero-tolerance policy towards corruption and said that they remain firmly committed to protecting the credibility, transparency and reputation of the Bangladesh Premier League.

 
Ihsanullah last over ruined a pretty good line but interesting to see he is still bowling at decent pace around 140 clicks and was able to trouble the batters.

Not a smart lad but tools are still there for him to make it work. Good pace, good height and can get the ball to seam. He has big no ball issues but PCB should at least try to work with him in domestic and see if he can become anywhere near the bowler he used to be. Likely just a T20 bowler at this point though.

This is a seriously shady league. Not sure why so many Pakistani players take part in it.
