Background

In September 2024, the ownership rights of the Dhaka franchise were acquired by Shakib Khan's Remark-Herlan Group.[5] Later on, its name was changed into Dhaka Capitals.[6][7] Comilla Victorians is replaced by Durbar Rajshahi.[8] Chattogram Challengers is renamed as Chittagong Kings.
The players' draft was held on 14 October 2024.[9][10][11][12][13]
