Unlike previous other seasons’, the 2018 Bangladesh Premier League will be out of ‘icon’ cricketers. The country’s franchise based T20 tournament has casted away with the local icon cricketers’ category for the forthcoming edition of the tournament. At the next player draft held on October 25, cricketers will be bracketed in categories with A+ become the highest along with five more of them – B, C, D and E. BPL governing council secretarty Ismail Haider said on Monday, “There will be no icons in BPL.” “We have decided to replace that with A+ category,” he said. Young guns Mustafizur Rahman and Litton Das have been elevated to the A+ category for the upcoming draft. The left-arm pacer was earlier an icon player for Barisal Bulls.
