Meanwhile, Sylhet Strikers, Fortune Barisal, Khulna Tigers and Rangpur Riders are also present as old franchises. The old 4 franchises of BPL are getting a chance to retain one outright contract and two cricketers.

A franchise can recruit a maximum of 10 and a maximum of 14 local players through retain, direct contract and draft. BCB is yet to take any decision on foreign cricketers. At the same time, there are two more franchise tournaments, so the franchisees may have the opportunity to take additional foreigners.
