Like almost every Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) season that ends up marred, and often remembered for its comedy of errors, the upcoming edition seems determined to build on that fragile reputation.

Anamul Haque Bijoy, Mosaddek Hossain and several other players have been left out of the final list of local players for the upcoming auction of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) Governing Council is still waiting for reports from BCB's Anti-Corruption Committee's consultant Alex Marshall before finalising the list of both local and foreign players ahead of the players' auction scheduled for November 30.

Last year, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) introduced the T20 iteration of the National Cricket League (NCL) to expose domestic players to competitive T20 cricket and help Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) franchises identify local talent.

After weeks of speculation, the governing council of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) announced on Tuesday that the 12th edition of the tournament will begin on December 19, featuring five teams.
