A new batch of Pakistani cricketers will participate in the Bangladesh Premier League 2025–26, joining teams via auctions and direct signings.
Among the notable picks in the auction, held on Sunday, were young fast bowler Ihsanullah, all-rounder Jahandad Khan, and middle-order batter Haider Ali.
Ihsanullah, who has played one ODI and four T20Is for Pakistan, attracted the highest bid among Pakistani players in Category C, joining Noakhali Express for USD 28,000.
He had previously been part of Rangpur Riders but did not feature in any matches last season. Noakhali Express also signed Haider Ali for USD 20,000.
The middle-order batter has played 37 international matches and participated in 13 BPL games, scoring 213 runs, including a top unbeaten score of 48.
Jahandad Khan, who made his T20I debut against Australia last year and has eight international caps, was signed by Rajshahi Warriors for USD 20,000 in the same category.
