The governing council of the Bangladesh Premier League has confirmed that there will be six franchises for the eighth edition of the BPL according to a Cricbuzz report.
''Yes, you can say that we are confirmed by the board to take part in BPL. We came here to talk with BCB and they told us that we will be representing our Chattogram Challengers,'' said Chattogram Challengers managing director KM Rifatuzzaman.
''In the last edition, there was a provision of playing four overseas players while in this edition three players will be taking part for each franchise. The date for the draft is yet to be finalised and once it is finalised we would be more organised,” he added.
The tournament is likely to take place from January 20 to February 20 while the PSL is scheduled to begin on January 27. But BPL governing council member Sheikh Sohel has said that the board isn’t really concerned about the competition cashing with the PSL.
"We are not worried about the PSL and we are expecting to host the players draft of this month but the only thing that we are worried about is the corona situation."
