Earlier, BPL Governing Council announced the list of foreign players as well as local players who are interested in playing in this tournament. 196 cricketers from other countries were interested in playing in this exciting tournament.
Bangladesh = 122
Pakistan = 53
England = 53
West Indies = 34
Sri Lanka = 25
South Africa = 4
Australia = 4
New Zealand = 2
Zimbabwe = 6
Others = 15
Bangladeshi Players:
ICON = 06
Grade A = 16
Grade B = 36
Grade C = 43
Grade D = 21
Batsmen = 62
Bowlers = 45
All Rounders = 15
Total = 122
Note that, each team can take a maximum of 12 foreign players in their squad and a maximum of 4 from them can play in a match.
LOCAL PLAYERS: 5,00,000-35,00,000/= BDT [6,500-45,500/= USD]
OVERSEAS PLAYERS: 30,000-70,000/= USD
There are 4 grades of players, selected by BPL Authority. The A grade players will get the maximum price of 70,000/= USD. B grade players will get 50,000/= USD while C and D grade players will get 40,000/= USD and 30,000/= USD respectively. Each franchise must take at least 3 players from this list.
Grade A = 19 players
Grade B = 34 players
Grade C = 36 players
Grade D = 107 players
However, there is an option for the franchises to buy players for any amount of money. But, the responsibility for any amount above 70,000/= USD will not be taken by BPL Authority. So, the players who are interested in playing for a franchise for money more than the fixed amount, will have to play BPL on their own risks. BPL Authority will ask those players to sign a form. The form will contain the statement that any amount above 70,000/= USD will not be paid by BPL Authority. Rather, the extra amount will be paid by the franchises themselves. In the previous season, many players were not given their full amount of money for a long time. Even now, some players have their money due. So, it will be better for the players if they don’t sign with any franchise in a price above the fixed rate.
However, some players have been already fixed for some franchise in a price above the fixed rate. BPL Governing Council has also not taken any initiative to stop this. They thought that it was needed for the acceptance of the tournament. According to them, a player like Shakib Al Hasan is more valuable than any player in the world. So, he must get more money than the others. Similarly, some foreign superstars like Chris Gayle, Shahid Afridi, Kumar Sangakkara also should be paid more than the others. Here is the list of the players who were interested in playing BPL T20 2015.

HISTORY OF BPL:
Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) was started first in 2012. The
tournament was inspired by the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the first
tournament, 6 franchises participated corresponding to the 6 divisions
of Bangladesh. They were: Dhaka Gladiators, Duronto Rajshahi, Chittagong Kings, Barisal Burners, Khulna Royal Bengals and Sylhet Royals. The second season was even more exciting by the addition of another team Rangpur Riders. Mashrafe Mortaza led Dhaka Gladiators
to glory on both occasions. Barisal Burners were the runners-up in 2012
and Chittagong Kings were the runners-up in 2013. BPL didn’t occur for
more than 2 years. So, this season will be even more exciting one.
BPL-2 & MATCH FIXING:
The third season of BPL was postponed due to the match fixing issue done by some cricketers including one of the best talents of Bangladesh, Mohammad Ashraful. He was found guilty in fixing a match between Dhaka Gladiators and Chittagong Royals. ICC’s Anti-Corruption & Security Unit (ACSU) investigated the match and found some serious fixing issues in it. Mohammad Ashraful confessed in front of the media with a crying face. Still BCB banned Mohammad Ashraful for 8 years, which was reduced later to 5 years including 2 years of the pardonable ban. This means Mohammad Ashraful will be allowed to play the international matches from 13th August, 2016. He has been confirmed that he will not play the BPL 3.
