The upcoming season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) appears to be following the trend of previous seasons, known for being marked by errors and mishaps. Despite facing serious issues like the suspension of cricketers over fixing allegations pending investigation, the BPL has already stumbled by making a basic mistake in its auction list.
In a surprising turn of events, Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Amir, who was already confirmed as a direct signing for Sylhet Titans, was mistakenly included in Category A of the auction list with his name misspelled. The errors extended to the foreign direct signings list, where the name of Dhaka Capitals was misspelled by omitting the final “s.” This blunder echoes a previous incident where a Dhaka franchise flaunted a grammatically incorrect team motto on their official tracksuits.
The lead-up to the tournament has been marred by scheduling uncertainties, with the start date of the competition changed once and the auction schedule revised twice. Despite promises of a ‘unique’ BPL season, the pattern of blunders suggests that this edition may continue the tradition of entertaining fans with comedic errors. Fans are eagerly awaiting more amusing developments as the tournament unfolds.
