BPL Draft: Who plays in which team?
The Players' Draft of the Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier League was held at a city hotel on Sunday.
No teams in first round have shown interest on ODI captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza who has been drafted into A+ category.
Along with him, Mushfiqur Rahim, Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah Riyad were drafted into the A+ category, which sets the base price at Tk 5 million.
The tournament is scheduled to start on 11 December.
