England’s explosive opener Jason Roy is set to light up the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) once again. The English star has signed with Dhaka Capitals, a new franchise making its debut in this year’s tournament.

Dhaka Capitals have made a strong impression with their star-studded lineup and high-budget promotional efforts, including a theme song featuring superstar Shakib Khan. The addition of Jason Roy to their squad has only added to the buzz.

Dhaka Capitals have assembled a powerful team, blending local talent with international cricketing stars. While Thisara Perera has been chosen as the captain over local favorite Litton Das.

While there were initial plans to bring in Pakistan’s Saim Ayub, his participation remains uncertain due to national team commitments. To strengthen their batting, the Capitals have turned to Jason Roy, who is expected to bring his signature explosive style to the team’s top order.

Dhaka Capitals will kick off their campaign on December 30, facing the Rangpur Riders in what promises to be a thrilling encounter. With Jason Roy and a strong supporting cast, the Capitals aim to set the tone early in the tournament.
