With a Kufa leader like Shakib, I doubt they will win any other way

don't forget mahfuzur rahman is the owner

[Eshen]

Rajshahi seem to have got the worse team in this lottery. They are overburdened with Pilot as the keeper.

Their best XI seam to be -

Zunaed Siddique
Hannan Sarkar
Naeem Islam
Shuvagoto Hom
Nadif Chowdhury
Suhrawadi Shuvo
Ejaz Ahmed
Shafiul Islam
Khaled Mashud
Muktar Ali
Sanjamul Islam

There was no auction for any player. Selectors decided who will get how much and then teams picked players in a lottery (besides 24 Icons who were assigned to different teams by BCB).

Foreign players may not agree to whatever our selectors may think they are worth, so they have to be handled separately.

From what I have gathered from so far - there will a single round league of 15 matches among 6 teams, and then there will be two semi's and a final. Five of the matches will be held during evening.

The opening match on Sunday evening will be between Cyclones and Rangers.

খেলোয়াড় বাছাইয়ের জন্য আইকন খেলোয়াড় ছাড়া তালিকায় নাম ছিল ১১৯ জনের। চারজন আইকন খেলোয়াড়ের সঙ্গে আরও ১০ জন করে খেলোয়াড় নিয়েছে প্রতিটি দল। অবিক্রীত থেকে গেলেন প্রায় ৬০ জন। জাতীয় দলের পেসার শাহাদাত হোসেনও এঁদের একজন। এঁদের কী হবে? টুর্নামেন্ট কমিটির চেয়ারম্যান গাজী আশরাফ হোসেনের কণ্ঠে দুঃখ ঝরে পড়ল, ‘কী আর করা? তবে প্রতিটি দল ২০ জন খেলোয়াড় নিবন্ধন করাতে পারবে। অন্যদের থেকে অনেককেই হয়তো ফ্র্যাঞ্চাইজিগুল� � নেবে আশা করি।’ অবশ্য বিদেশি খেলোয়াড়েরাও ওঁদের মুখের গ্রাস কেড়ে নিতে পারেন। প্রতিটি দল ৬ জন করে বিদেশি খেলোয়াড় নিবন্ধন করতে পারবে। কালই কয়েকটি দল বলছিল, তারা ভালো বিদেশি খেলোয়াড়ও আনবে। মাশরাফি বিন মুর্তজা আইপিএলে কলকাতা নাইট রাইডার্স দলের সঙ্গে যুক্ত থাকায় আইকন খেলোয়াড় হিসেবে বিবেচিত হতে পারেননি। তবে পাওয়ার সম্ভাবনা কম জেনেও তাঁকে দলে নিয়েছে সিলেট।

I dont if this has been posted, Cyclones have drafted in Shoaib Akhtar!! and Mash is apperantly playing for Sylhet.

source: http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesig...php?nid=133458
While the Sultans of Sylhet grabbed the biggest local name in Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, the Cyclones of Chittagong made an even bigger splash after they announced the capture of Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhter for the National Cricket League's brand new Twenty20 tournament.
Sylhet snapped up Bangladesh pacer Mashrafe when six franchises chose the players through a lottery during a marathon launching ceremony at the Sheraton Hotel yesterday.
However, dashing opener Tamim Iqbal, the Icon of Cyclones of Chittagong, soon burst Sylhet's bubble as he disclosed that his side was all set to bring in Akhter, who has been in the wilderness of international cricket for quite a long period of time.
"It is all but confirmed that [Shoaib] Akhter will join the team before the start of the tournament [on April 11]," said Tamim.
Country's leading paceman Mashrafe, who is currently with IPL side Kolkata Knight Riders, was also given the highest grade but not included in the Icon Players' list. Sylhet capitalised on this and picked his name in their first opportunity.
In the launching ceremony of the tournament the main attraction was the players' selections through lottery after the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had initially distributed four Icon Players amongst each of the six divisional teams.
The respective teams' Icon Players along with the coaching staff took part in the lottery to select the player and they got little time to think about the selection.
During the programme, which started an hour later than scheduled, the owners of the six divisional teams were introduced and the logos for the different teams were also unveiled.
BCB's director and marketing committee chairman Aziz Al Kaiser Titoo along with his three other partners came forward to buy the Barisal team to make sure that no team would remain unsold.
ATN Records, who got the event marketing rights, also signed a deal with Destiny2000, which earned the title sponsorship rights spending Tk 1.5 crore.
Gazi Ashraf Hossain, BCB's director and chairman of the tournament committee, informed that five matches would be held under floodlights at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur despite the country going through a severe power crisis.
"First of all I apologise for the delay. We believe that it would be a successful event and helpful for the national players before the World Cup. Despite power crisis five matches will be day-night affairs," said Ashraf.
Former national skipper Roquibul Hassan was moderator in the programme.

I do feel for the other players, but the fact is its all about survival of the fittest. Those who will miss out this year, I hope in the coming year they work hard and prove to everybody that they deserve to be here. Because if they don't soon enough they will become nobody.

[wiseshah]

i think this NCL/2020 team owners know about players or atleast follow cricket.

shahadat is not a good 20/20 players but some how our selectors pick him for this format.

javed omar, sanwar are oldies and unfit for this format.
mushfiq is another unfit for this format.

i think mehrab jr played well in last PCL in chittagong, though he is not a 20/20 player but he showed some capability plus he is a handy allrounder--may be thats why he get picked.

ehsanul haq sejan---- recently he retired to be part of selection committee, i think if he wouldnt retire--he would get picked liked faisal hossain, he was super consistent in domestic.

[wiseshah]

my surprise---why anamul haq the keeper didnt get picked. he could have been a trump card for some team.

I'd like to see Chigumbura, Taibu, Taylor, Malinga Bandara, Tharanga in the league

if they can get Lou vincent, they can get any players. get some aussie, english, saf players, it will increase value of the tournament. i prefer more quality bowlers to play in the league, so our batsman will learn something--how to play quality bowlers.

thanks as always to your effort to bring us all this news.

Maybe the teams can look into the Kings Panjab team for players They're not going anywhere in the IPL this year

[nycpro96]

Is the schedule of the tournament out yet?

[al Furqaan]

how much are the top players earning?

IMO, they should have a draft with these same team names for the FC and List A tournies as well...we must comerialize this as much as possible and pay the performing players handsomely.

In PCL, foreigners got $2K-3K per match. Here, even the Icons getting less than $6K for the whole tournament (5-7 matches). I doubt you can get same international players PCL hired for cheaper prices.

I hope in the near future PCL team owners will look into buying NCL teams.

You might see lots of Pak players!

add two foreign players

[fais]

with all the obesession of Hasina on being digital, its surprising that Lotus has not pushed for at least a NCL T20 website.

[al-Sagar]

for me all the team looks decent and balanced.... so the games should be exciting and competitive.

now the players who missed out is unlucky. still some more players will be added but they will get less chance to play.

now next season should we add more franchises ??? its not necessary that the franchises should be a divisional head. anyway rangpur, bogura, noakhali, jessore, mymensingh, comilla, faridpur are some big towns which can be added as franchises. more franchises more players can get involved.

But again the question comes to me.... bogura has a good cricket stadium. faridpur and mymensingh has decent cricket ground. what about noakhali,rangpur, jessore, comilla ?????

i think franchises can invest money in developing good cricket ground is these bigger towns of bangladesh.

whats the point of PCL investing money in a seperate tourney ??? let them invest in a franchise based on noakahali or comilla and then develop the cricketing facilites in the town. let them make the NCL a bigger tournament by making more teams and making them play home and away ???

players would certainly like to play a bigger tourney than 2-3 short tourney.
