The 2019-20 edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is all set to get underway on December 11. The opening ceremony will take place at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on December 8. The first match of the T20 league be between the Chattogram Challengers and the Sylhet Thunder.

Cumilla Warriors and Rangpur Rangers will play the second game on the day. The draft of the BPL took place on November 17. The T20 tournament was earlier scheduled to start on December 6 with the opening ceremony to take place on December 3.

Nevertheless, the Bangabandhu BPL was later re-scheduled. There will be plenty of new names, who have come up the ranks, over the last few months or so. Many of the cricketers will be eyeing the BPL as a platform.

In the article, let’s took at 5 debutants to look out for in the Bangabandhu BPL:-

Ryan Burl

Ryan Burl made his T20I debut in February 2018, but it was in September this year when the world got aware of his potential. The southpaw plundered Shakib Al Hasan for 34 runs in an over that included five colossal sixes and a boundary. Then the 25-year-old posed some threats with his leg-spin, dismissing Mahmudullah.

Burl weaved his magic at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur. Later, he did well in the Singapore tri-nation series, getting a couple of quick-fire 41* and 28*. He also got wickets in every game he played, including a three-fer.

Chattogram Challengers took note of his performances and got him in the draft. Having already played in Bangladesh, Burl knows what to expect from the conditions. The Zimbabwe all-rounder may turn out to be the Challengers’ X-factor.
