BPL 2026 Squads: Full List of Players of All Six Teams After Bangladesh Premier League Auction
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2026 auction, held on November 30, 2025, brought a new era to the country’s most popular T20 league. This was the first official auction in 12 years, making it a historic event for fans, franchises, and players alike. Six teams participated in the auction, including four new franchises—Chattogram Royals, Noakhali Express, Sylhet Titans, and Rajshahi Warriors—alongside returning teams Dhaka Capitals and Rangpur Riders.
Ahead of the auction, each team made two direct signings and then completed their squads by meeting the requirement of at least 12 local players and 2 overseas players.
A major twist came when eight Bangladeshi cricketers were banned from the BPL auction due to integrity-related issues. Their names were publicly revealed prior to the auction, adding dramatic intensity to the event.
