There is already a lot of complications with the upcoming BPL season. BPL committee announces new rules; But it does not protect the interests of the franchisees.
Although the BPL governing council is trying to innovate in all respects, contracting, registration, bailing, playing conditions and other rules and the process of taking on cricketers and coaches, the franchise has already hired at least two foreign teams, plus the star of the country's icon or A Plus category. Claiming to be in the squad.

Rangpur Raiders team has already drawn Dhaka Dynamites captain Shakib Al Hasan. Mashrafe Bin Mortaza has been leading Rangpur for the past two seasons. Now if the BPL Governing Council accepts all franchise or majority franchise applications at the negotiating table; Shakib will have no obstacle to play for the Rangpur Raiders. So what will happen to Mashrafe bin Mortaza? Will the captain of the national team change the team?
Both Shakib-Mashrafe are cricketers in the 'A +' category. Can't have two icons or A plus category cricketers in a team. But today, Rangpur Raiders CEO Ishtiaq Sadeq said they would like to see two superstars Mashrafe and Shakib in the same team! Explaining how this is possible, Ishtiaq says, 'Mashrafe is the son of our house. As far as I know, if Mashrafe retires before BPL, he will not be an icon. We were worried that our retention would fall into the Mashrafe too.

However, both Mashrafe and Shakib will play in Rangpur. '
It may seem impossible, but not really. There is evidence of Ishtiaq Sadeq saying, 'Mashrafe did not want to be an icon since last year. Because he's not in T20. Therefore, morally and logically Mashrafe cannot be kept icon. The icon will be someone new, very promising. The board says, "We ourselves know that it is difficult to find the 5 type icons in our country. Mashrafe did not want to be an icon. And the one I heard this year, too, is that if he retires from the ODI, there will be no icon. But in our plan, Mashrafe also falls into retention. But if the board brings new rules here again! '
