11 enterprises queue up for BPL franchises

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has received expressions of interest (EOIs) from 11 enterprises for the third edition of the Bangladesh Premier League, reports Cricinfo.

But no one who participated in the first two editions submitted their applications, after the BCB had terminated contracts with the seven franchises last year due to payment issues.

Afzalur Rahman Sinha, BPL governing council chairman, said that the new franchises have to pay BDT 10 million (1 crore) (USD 128,625) as a bank guarantee. They have also set a few subjective criteria, including involvement with sports at some capacity in the past.

The EOIs were received from DBL Group, Sohana Group of Industries, Beximco, BBS Cables, Blues Communications, Networld Bangladesh, Mediacom Limited, Index Group, Bengal Communications, Axiom Technology and Fiber@home Limited.
