The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025 players' draft has come to an exciting close on Monday (October 14), with all seven teams finalizing their lineups ahead of the tournament.

As expected, the draft saw fierce competition for national team stars and some promising newcomers, while veteran players like Mashrafe Bin Mortaza and Mahmudullah Riyad returned to their former teams, rekindling old alliances.

Several national team regulars, such as Taskin Ahmed, Litton Das, Hasan Mahmud, and Shamim Hossain, were snapped up early in the draft. Defending champions Fortune Barishal picked up a late addition in the form of Najmul Hossain Shanto, whose team selection was surprisingly delayed. Notably, Rishad Hossain, one of the marquee players, was also picked towards the end, with Barishal securing his services. Newcomers Durbar Rajshahi made bold moves, signing a total of 13 players, including young talents like Jishan Alam.

Teams are also allowed to make additional signings after the draft, keeping the door open for further reinforcements.
