The Bangladesh Premier League 2016, also known as BPL Season 4 and AKS BPL 2016 (for sponsorship reasons) was the fourth season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), the top level professional Twenty20 cricket franchise league in Bangladesh. The competition was organised by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and featured seven teams.[1] The season originally began on 4 November 2016 and ended on 9 December 2016.[2] However, after the first four matches of the tournament were abandoned due to rain and with more rain forecast, the league opted to restart on 8 November and to replay all of the opening six matches.[2][3][4]
Two new teams, Khulna Titans and Rajshahi Kings played in the competition with new ownership after the original franchises were not allowed to enter the 2015 competition, while the Sylhet Super Stars franchise was excluded from the competition.[1][5] The BCB originally claimed that Sylhet had breached franchisee agreements or not paid bank guarantees, but on 21 September clarified that the franchise had been excluded for "disciplinary reasons".[5] Comilla Victorians were the defending champions[6] but were eliminated in the group stage. In the championship game, Dhaka Dynamites defeated Rajshahi Kings to win their third title.[7]
Player draft
[edit]The 2016 BPL draft was held on 30 September.[1][8] Prior to the draft, the seven clubs signed 38 foreign players to contracts and each existing franchise was able to retain two home-grown players from the 2015 season.[9] A total 301 players participated in the draft, including 133 local and 168 foreign players. 85 players were selected in the draft.[10]
Player transfers
[edit]Prior to the 2016 draft, a number of high-profile players moved teams. These included transfers between competing teams and due to the suspension of the Sylhet Super Stars and the introduction of two new teams, Khulna Titans and Rajshahi Kings. Transfers included the move of Barisal Bulls captain Mahmudullah Riyad to the Khulna Titans, Chris Gayle from the Barisal Bulls to the Chittagong Vikings, the signing of Shahid Afridi as team captain of Rangpur Riders from the Sylhet Super Stars and Shakib Al Hasan as team captain of Dhaka Dynamites from Rangpur Riders.[11]
Venues
[edit]A total of 46 matches, including the final, will be held at two venues in Chittagong and Dhaka. The Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong hosted eleven (11) matches in the middle block of games, with the majority of matches (35), including all playoff matches and the final being held at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. 25,000 people attended the final.
