As the new season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) approaches, Dhaka Capitals have secured a key addition to their squad by signing veteran Sri Lankan all-rounder Thisara Perera. Known for his explosive batting and effective medium pace, Perera will join the Dhaka franchise for the upcoming season, further strengthening their lineup.

The announcement was made on Dhaka Capitals' official social media, confirming Perera's signing through a post. “Dhaka is such a special city for Thisara Perera. Dhaka is where he had hit the T20 World Cup-winning 6️off Ashwin's bowling. Dhaka is where the Lankan star all-rounder had become a World Champion. He's back in Dhaka, as a player of Dhaka this time. Welcome to Dhaka Capitals, Thisara.Keep the big hits and tight line and length coming!” Dhaka posted on their Facebook page.

Although Perera retired from international cricket, he continues to be a sought-after figure in franchise leagues due to his dynamic T20 abilities. He has built a reputation for finishing innings with aggressive, power-packed performances and remains a dependable medium-pacer. His past experiences in the BPL make him a valuable asset for Dhaka Capitals, where he’ll bring both skill and experience.

Aside from Perera, Dhaka Capitals have secured several top players for the upcoming season, including Bangladeshi stars Mustafizur Rahman and Tanzid Hasan Tamim, along with overseas players like Johnson Charles and Alex Hales. The team is also reportedly in talks with Australian opener Travis Head as they finalize their squad ahead of the BPL players’ draft on October 14.
