pakistani players will be priority for every club thats for sure given their popularity in Bangladesh.

I hope that per team they take only 3 players. Foreign players who like to hit, only they should be taken. I don't know much but players live Virenda Sehwag and Amla comes to my mind now.

I don't consider 20/20 a cricket. Cricket is about multiple strategies. In 20/20, maro chokka maro char, except this nothing else.

Guys pray that this will be an epic fail. If that happens these guys will never plan another 20/20 league in Bangladesh again.

BCB is more busy in launching BPL, organizing WCs etc. instead, they should be developing the domestic infrastructure first!!
