2019–20 Bangladesh Premier League players' draft

During the player's direct signing period, a Conflict of Interests aroused between BCB and all other franchise. Subsequently in September BCB President Nazmul Hasan Papon informed the media about certain changes in rules and regulations for the ongoing season and eliminating all franchises, BCB took over the charge of the current BPL and decided to run this current tournament by the board itself and named the tournament as Bangabandhu BPL T20 2019 in order to pay homage to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on his birth centenary.[1]
