Three former IPL players from India - Manvinder Bisla, Manpreet Gony and Kumar Boresa - registered themselves in the player draft for the new season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), but went unsold. BCB had earlier shared their interest to increase the participation of Indian players in BPL.

After Bangladesh Cricket Board's failure to resolve the issues with the franchises, who demanded more money from the board, the BCB had decided that it would host the tournament by themselves. The initial date planned for the tournament was DecemberĀ 6 but now Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hasan announced that the special edition of Bangladesh Premier League will get underway on December 11, for which as many as 439 overseas players have registered themselves for.

Among them, there were three Indian names - former KKR starĀ Manvinder Bisla, former India and CSK pacer Manpreet Gony and former Rajasthan Royals player Kumar Boresa. While Bisla is known for his heroics in 2012 final, in which KKR emerged victorious, Gony played a prominent part in CSK, which resulted in him playing for India later. Boresa, who didn't play a single game for Rajasthan Royals, also registered himself but his name also went unnoticed.Ā 

As announced, the teams that will be taking part in the league are Jamuna Bank Dhaka Platoon, Premier Bank Khulna Tigers, Rajshahi Royals, Rangpur Rangers, Sylhet Thunder, Cumilla Warriors and Chattogram Challengers.Ā
