Post-auction signings
Many franchises signed players after the BPL auction, as replacement of contracted players who are not available to play due to injuries and national commitments. Under BPL rules, the replacements have to be chosen from the pool of players who went unsold in the January auction, and cannot be paid more than the players they are replacing, though they can be paid less.
Signed Player | Replaced Player | Team | Signed amount | Reason for replacement |
---|---|---|---|---|
Kabir Ali | Shane Harwood | Barisal Burners | $20,000 | Injury Shane Harwood |
