Bangla Tigers Team News & Playing 11
BGT Team News
Bangla Tigers only had one Pakistan player to replace when the PCB removed their No Objection Certificates and that was Hassan Khan. Since they originally named their squad, Amanul Haque has also dropped out, but Mohammad Abdul Hashem, Tom Moores, Kevin Koththiigoda and Prabath Jayasuriya have all been added to bulk out their numbers. Thisara Perera will lead the team, while Robbie Frylinck turned down an MSL contract to take part.
BGT Key Players
Robbie Frylinck: A huge hitter of the ball down the order and a superb death bowler too, the South African all-rounder looks an ideal fit for T10 cricket so it is easy to see why he opted for this rather than the Mzansi Super League.
Thisara Perera: The icon player of the team, he boasts a strike rate of 152.41 in T20 international cricket and is a useful pace bowler too. He has been quiet lately, only featuring sporadically in the Global T20 Canada and CPL, so this is a chance to roar back into form.
Colin Ingram: A big-hitting opener, he made useful starts in almost of all his most recent innings in the Caribbean Premier League – and useful starts mount up in T10 cricket.

Bangla Tigers are set for their T10 debut.

Fawad Ahmed: Bowled economically in his first over, and his array of T20 experience the world over proves he can hold an end with the ball, as well as take regular wickets.
Zahir Khan: Opened the bowling and immediately put the Gladiators on the front foot in the second innings as he claimed thee wickets, finishing with figures of 3-17.
