BCB receives five EOIs for BPL teams
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have received five Expression of Interest (EOI) applications from parties which could sponsor the teams in the upcoming edition of the Bangladesh Premier League T20 tournament.
The names of two certain organisations, Akhtar Group and Tiger IT, have been making the rounds in the cricket community. Both parties submitted their EOIs after the BCB floated the notice on September 17 with the deadline for submission set for September 22.
However, it was learned that none of the six existing BPL franchises have submitted EOIs to participate in the tournament as team sponsors.
In the surprise move earlier this month, the BCB made the decision to not involve the franchises in the seventh edition of the BPL, which will mark the 100th birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
This decision, declared by board president Nazmul Hassan, was rendered following the recent deterioration of the relationship between the BPL Governing Council and franchises.
