No Vikings in upcoming BPL
Chittagong Vikings will not participate in the upcoming Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) slated to begin from December 6 this year. DBL Group, the owners of the Chattogram based franchise, decided to step aside from their role and thus the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has issued a tender in order to look for parties interested in owning the franchise.
"They will not continue under the name of DBL Group. We have issued an Expression of Interest (EOI) and if anyone is interested, then the Chattogram team may come under a different name," BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury informed the media yesterday.
The franchise started their journey as Chittagong Vikings under the ownership of DBL Group in the 2015/16 season. If the franchise do not get a new owner, the BPL will possibly roll on with six teams for the upcoming edition.
