Strategic shifts in teams dynamics
Several changes have unfolded in the squads of the seven participating teams. Two of Bangladesh’s cricketing stalwarts, Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan, have altered their allegiances. Mushfiqur, formerly associated with Sylhet, now captains Barishal, replacing Shakib. Meanwhile, Shakib will play for Rangpur but won’t assume the captaincy.
With four titles to their credit, Victorians stands as the most successful team in BPL history. Litton Das has been appointed as their captain for this year, succeeding Imrul Kayes, who guided them to consecutive titles in 2022 and 2023. The stage is set for an enthralling season, where each team will endeavor to carve its name into the annals of BPL glory.
