Bangladesh Premier League BPL T20 2015  has been started on 20th November, 2015. This is the third season of this heavily exciting tournament. The first and second season champion was Dhaka Gladiators. Can they win this one also and make a hat-trick? Let’s wait and see.

HISTORY OF BPL:

Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) was started first in 2012. The tournament was inspired by the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the first tournament, 6 franchises participated corresponding to the 6 divisions of Bangladesh. They were: Dhaka Gladiators, Duronto Rajshahi, Chittagong Kings, Barisal Burners, Khulna Royal Bengals and Sylhet Royals. The second season was even more exciting by the addition of another team Rangpur Riders. Mashrafe Mortaza led Dhaka Gladiators to glory on both occasions. Barisal Burners were the runners-up in 2012 and Chittagong Kings were the runners-up in 2013. BPL didn’t occur for more than 2 years. So, this season will be even more exciting one.

BPL-2 & MATCH FIXING:

The third season of BPL was postponed due to the match fixing issue done by some cricketers including one of the best talents of Bangladesh, Mohammad Ashraful. He was found guilty in fixing a match between Dhaka Gladiators and Chittagong Royals . ICC’s Anti-Corruption & Security Unit (ACSU) investigated the match and found some serious fixing issues in it. Mohammad Ashraful confessed in front of the media with a crying face. Still BCB banned Mohammad Ashraful for 8 years, which was reduced later to 5 years including 2 years of the pardonable ban. This means Mohammad Ashraful will be allowed to play the international matches from 13th August, 2016. He has been confirmed that he will not play the BPL 3.

BPL-3 TEAMS:

BPL T20 2015 is being held among 6 teams. There is no team for Rajshahi and Khulna this time. Comilla is the new team for the BPL 3. Here are the teams for BPL T20 2015 along with their owners.

1. Barisal Bulls [Axiom Group]
2. Chittagong Vikings [DBL Group]
3. Comilla Victorians [Royal Sporting Limited]
4. Dhaka Dynamites [Beximco Group]
5. Rangpur Riders [I Sports Limited]
6. Sylhet Superstars [Alif Group]

THEME SONGS OF BPL T20 2015:

BARISAL BULLS THEME SONG  DHAKA DYNAMITES THEME SONG  CHITTAGONG VIKINGS THEME SONG  COMILLA VICTORIANS THEME SONG 

BPL-3 ICON CRICKETERS:

6 players has been selected by BCB as the Icon Players. They are representing 6 teams and most of them are the captains of their teams. Meanwhile, the players are selected and their teams are selected by lottery. So, the Icon Cricketers for the BPL T20 2015 are:

1. Mahmudullah Riyad (Barisal Bulls)
2. Tamim Iqbal (Chittagong Kings)
3. Mashrafe Mortaza (Comilla Victorians)
4. Nasir Hossain (Dhaka Dynamites)
5. Shakib Al Hasan (Rangpur Riders)
6. Mushfiqur Rahim (Sylhet Superstars)

RULES OF BPL T20 2015:

The points will be allocated after the completion of each match as follows:
Win = 2 Points
Tie/No Result = 1 Points
Loss = 0 Points

Position of the teams in the Knock-out table will be determined by the follows serially:
1. Points
2. Number Of Wins
3. Net Run Rate

If 2 teams finish with the equal points in the table, then the team which won the matches played between those two teams, will be positioned above the loser team. If both the teams have one win each, then the Net Run Rate will be considered and the team with the higher NRR will be placed above the other team.

If 3 or more teams finish with the equal points in the table, then the team/teams which won the maximum number of matches in between those equal teams, will be positioned above the other teams. If still two or more teams have equal numbers of wins, then the Net Run Rate will be considered and the teams will be positioned according to the NRR. If two or more teams still have equal NRR (nearly impossible), then those teams will be positioned by the drawing of lots.

If the semi-finals, eliminator or final match can’t be completed with a minimum number of overs (decided by the match officials) or a tie occurs, then one over eliminator will take place. If the teams still face a tie in the one over eliminator, then the winner will be decided by the toss of a coin.

NET RUN RATE: The Net Run Rate is the ratio of two numbers. The numerator is the average number of runs scored by that team per over in all the matches it played. The denominator is the average number of runs scored by the other teams against that team in all the matches it played.

So, Net Run Rate = (Total Runs Scored / Total Overs Faced) – (Total Runs Conceded /Total Overs Bowled)

If a team is all out before 20 overs, then the calculation will still consider 20 overs for both the teams. That means, if a team makes 100 runs for 10 wickets in 18 overs, the average runs per over will be calculated as 100/20, not 100/18. And the opposition team’s calculation will be with 20 overs also.

Net Run Rate will be calculated for the completed matches only where results can be achieved.

BPL-3 PLAYERS AUCTION DATE:

There was no auction for the BPL 3 like the previous 2 seasons. This time, the players have been selected by lottery. The process was being called as “Players By Choice“. So, there has been no bidding for star players. They can get the maximum amount fixed by the BPL authority. BPL 3 players lottery was held on22nd October, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. The lottery was telecasted live on Channel 9 Bangladesh.

Earlier, BPL Governing Council announced the list of foreign players as well as local players who are interested in playing in this tournament. 196 cricketers from other countries were interested in playing in this exciting tournament.

Bangladesh = 122 Players
Pakistan = 53 Players
England = 53 Players
West Indies = 34 Players
Sri Lanka = 25 Players
South Africa = 4 Players
Australia = 4 Players
New Zealand = 2 Players
Zimbabwe = 6 Players
Others = 15 Players

Among The Bangladeshi Players:
ICON = 06 Players
Grade A = 16 Players
Grade B = 36 Players
Grade C = 43 Players
Grade D = 21 Players

Batsmen = 62 Players
Bowlers = 45 Players
All Rounders = 15 Players
Total = 122 Players

Note that, each team can take a maximum of 12 foreign players in their squad and a maximum of 4 from them can play in a match.

BPL-3 PLAYERS PRICE:

Players price has been announced by BPL authority. The price range for the local and overseas players are given below:

LOCAL PLAYERS: 5,00,000-35,00,000/= BDT [6,500-45,500/= USD]

OVERSEAS PLAYERS: 30,000-70,000/= USD

There are 4 grades of players, selected by BPL Authority. The A grade players will get the maximum price of 70,000/= USD. B grade players will get 50,000/= USD while C and D grade players will get 40,000/= USD and 30,000/= USD respectively. Each franchise must take at least 3 players from this list.

Grade A = 19 players
Grade B = 34 players
Grade C = 36 players
Grade D = 107 players

However, there is an option for the franchises to buy players for any amount of money. But, the responsibility for any amount above 70,000/= USD will not be taken by BPL Authority. So, the players who are interested in playing for a franchise for money more than the fixed amount, will have to play BPL on their own risks. BPL Authority will ask those players to sign a form. The form will contain the statement that any amount above 70,000/= USD will not be paid by BPL Authority. Rather, the extra amount will be paid by the franchises themselves. In the previous season, many players were not given their full amount of money for a long time. Even now, some players have their money due. So, it will be better for the players if they don’t sign with any franchise in a price above the fixed rate.

However, some players have been already fixed for some franchise in a price above the fixed rate. BPL Governing Council has also not taken any initiative to stop this. They thought that it was needed for the acceptance of the tournament. According to them, a player like Shakib Al Hasan is more valuable than any player in the world. So, he must get more money than the others. Similarly, some foreign superstars like Chris Gayle, Shahid Afridi, Kumar Sangakkara also should be paid more than the others. Here is the list of the players who were interested in playing BPL T20 2015.
