I spoke to someone within the BCCI who said that the CLT placing for the winners of the BPL was not really asked for or pushed. I don't know if this should have come from the BCB or BPL and I do not know how true this is.
The CLT is by invitation (not by right) and thus some smooth marketing behind the scenes would have no doubt helped.
I hear that the 2013 winners of the BPL are more likely to get invited. It's a shame for the Dhaka Gladiators that this year's terrific win didn't lead to some much needed income for all concerned from the CLT. I suspect that the focus was on simply getting the competition going rather than what would happen after.
