Fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman will be the first pick of the franchisees in the fifth edition of BPL players draft on Saturday, considering his star image.
Mustafizur played for Dhaka Dynamites in the third edition while he missed the whole tournament last year, he was in Dhaka’s tent before the reigning champions released him. Mustafizur Rahman is the only local player in Grade A+ ($60,000).
The seven franchisees of BPL however retained three local players from their 20016 roster while some have added new icon cricketer. At the same time, all of them have signed overseas players to shape up the team. The players draft which will take place tomorrow (Saturday) will give them an opportunity cover up other bases just.
Since this year's regulations stipulate that a team can field between three and five overseas players in its XI, all the franchises have to pick up several local players from the draft. A franchise should pick a minimum of seven local and two overseas players in the draft, according to a press release sent by the BPL governing council.
