The Bangladesh Premier League 2025, also known as Dutch-Bangla Bank BPL T20 2025 for sponsorship reasons, [1] is the eleventh season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), a top-level professional Twenty20 cricket league in Bangladesh which is organized by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). [2] The tournament began on 30 December 2024 and will end on 7 February 2025.

Background

The 2025 season clashed with the Big Bash League, SA20, Super Smash and International League T20. [3] There were uncertainties in this season after a sudden change of government in Bangladesh, since a few of the franchises may not be available in this season due to the aftermath of that incident. [4]

In September 2024, the ownership rights of the Dhaka franchise were acquired by Shakib Khan's Remark-Herlan Group. [5] Later on, its name was changed into Dhaka Capitals. [6] [7]

Comilla Victorians did not participate. [8]

Rajshahi franchise is back after 4 years and named as Durbar Rajshahi, under a new ownership of Valentine Group. [9]

Chattogram Challengers was renamed as Chittagong Kings after its ownership was acquired by SQ Sports. [10]

The players' draft was held on 14 October 2024. [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]

Theme

The official theme of BPL 2025 is Esho desh bodlai, prithibi bodlai (lit.'Let's change the country, change the world'). The theme mainly recognizes the July Revolution (Bangladesh) which had occurred in July–August 2024 & also manifests the changing Bangladesh. [16]

Theme song

The theme song of BPL 2025 is "Elo BPL" composed by Bangladeshi singer Muza, featuring Raef al Hasan Rafa & rapper Hannan Hossain Shimul. Some lyrics of the song were written by the Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus. [17]

Mascot

The mascot of BPL 2025 is Dana 36, [18] which is a peace beloved pigeon which has 36 feathers. The number 36 also refers to July 36 of Bangladesh, the popular non-existent date when authoritarian ruler Sheikh Hasina resigned & fled the country amidst Student–People's uprising on 5 August.

Opening music fest

The opening music fest was named "Celebrating The Festival of Youth" that occurred in Dhaka, Sylhet & Chattogram on 23, 25 & 28 December respectively.

In the Dhaka music fest, some famous singers such as Rahat Fateh Ali Khan (Pakistan), Raef al Hasan Rafa, Xefer, Muza, Sanjoy & rapper Hannan Hossain Shimul sang.

Controversies

The overseas players of Durbar Rajshahi did not take the field against Rangpur Riders on 26 January 2025 due to non-payment of dues. [23] [24] Judging the condition, BCB overturned the rule requiring a minimum of two foreign players in the playing XI and granted permission to Durbar Rajshahi to field a team comprising 11 local players for one match. [25] [26] However, they won the match without any overseas players. [27]

There was also a payment-related issue with Chittagong Kings, as some player's cheques were bounced back several times. However, their owner acknowledged the issue, stating that he was withholding payment due to lack of self-satisfaction. [28] [29]
