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