The players’ auction of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2026 brought a thrilling and lively Sunday (November 30) where the six franchises fought hard among themselves to finalize their teams for the next season. The presence of 159 local and 267 foreign players created a scenario in the auction room where sharpshooting picks, unpredicted bids, and fierce rivalry for Category A players were the order of the day. 

From the Bangladeshi players, only Litton Das and Naim Sheikh were supposed to be the top players in the elite Category A. The foreign players were divided into five price categories, which varied from USD 35,000 to USD 10,000. At the end of the day, each franchise had a team that undoubtedly showcased its 2026 strategy.

Player Categories and Base Prices

For this edition, both local and overseas players were placed into six categories (A–F), each with fixed base prices and bidding increments.

Foreign players were scattered across all six categories, with only Category D going unsold entirely.

How the Auction Landscape Shifted

Near the ramparts stood some of the strongest powerhouses in the market, such as the Dhaka Capitals and Chattogram Royals, who took the risk of relying on fresh and expensive overseas players to stay strong financially. In contrast, the Noakhali Express and the Rajshahi Warriors emphasized the need for a full team by employing a mix of young and veteran international players. Every team now holds a strong conviction for their pre-season strategy since the BPL 2026 has already produced an edition of the most competitive tournaments ever.
