Comilla Victorians Big pictureAllrounders will once again be the key for Comilla as they approach their title defense. Mashrafe Mortaza continues as captain, and he will have Imrul Kayes, Liton Das, Ashar Zaidi and Nuwan Kulasekara among those who were part of their championship team from last year. The additions of Imad Wasim, Sohail Tanvir, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Saifuddin and Nabil Samad strengthens their squad.Mashrafe will be keen to use Rashids legspin while also hoping Liton Das can score some runs unlike last year. Imrul is also in good form, enjoying the rewards of changing his approach and going after the bowling more regularly.Position in BPL 3ChampionsKey playerMashrafe Mortaza will have to juggle a strong overseas contingent as well as a talented bunch of local players. His commitment to the team last season was beyond measure, as he played many of the matches with injury, but this time he might need to be a little more judicious given Bangladeshs busy season after the BPL.CoachComilla continued with a local coach despite losing Mohammad Salahuddin to Chittagong, going for Mizanur Rahman Babul. The Bangladesh Under-19 coach took the side to the World Cup semifinals earlier this year, causing his stocks to rise significantly. Known to exert a calming influence, he will take on his first head-coach role in the BPL.One that got awayIt was odd to see Comilla not retain Abu Hider though he was their best bowler last season. Hider was adjudged the best emerging player, and his yorkers were a revelation for a little-known Bangladeshi fast bowler. Hider has been picked by Barisal this season.Below the radarYoung batsman Al Amin did very well in the Dhaka Premier League last season, making a number of fifties for Victoria Sporting Club. He is quite good against spin but will need some adjustments against pace, which he is likely to face a lot of during this tournament.Barisal Bulls Big pictureIf the local players perform to their potential, Barisal Bulls stand a chance to make the last four of this seasons BPL. Mushfiqur Rahim will lead a side that has experienced players such as Shamsur Rahman, Nadif Chowdhury, Shahriar Nafees and Al-Amin Hossain. They will need to combine well with an overseas brigade that includes Rumman Raees, Dilshan Munaweera and Josh Cobb, with the likes of Carlos Brathwaite and Mohammad Nawaz adding firepower.Taijul Islam and Abu Hider are talented bowlers on whom much of Barisals bowling strength will depend. It looks like an out-and-out T20 squad on paper but the BPL is such a hectic tournament that form slipping away from players is a common phenomenon, so Barisal must remain wary.Position in BPL 3Runners-upKey playerMushfiqur Rahim has always been a strong performer in the BPL, and he will have to bring his A-game to a franchise that is looking for success this season. His triple role as captain, wicketkeeper and batting mainstay could once again weigh down on him, so there could be a case of giving the wicketkeeping duties to someone else because his batting form is most important to the side.CoachDav Whatmore is back in Bangladesh with a coaching job for the first time since his four-year stint as the senior teams coach ended in 2007. He has a heavy resume, and has tasted success in a number of cricketing cultures, and knows franchise cricket well, having coached Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. He will reunite with Faruque Ahmed and Athar Ali Khan, selectors during his time as Bangladesh coach and now part of Barisals management.One that got awayBarisal have a revamped squad with big guns like Chris Gayle, Kevon Cooper and Evin Lewis missing but they will most miss the services of Mahmudullah, their captain from last year who has redefined his approach to T20 in the last 12 months.Below the radarMahedi Hasan is a promising top-order batsman who also bowls offspin, and opened the batting for Gazi Group Cricketers in last seasons Dhaka Premier League. He still has to develop power in his game, which must have been addressed during his stint with the BCBs High Performance unit this year.Chittagong Vikings Big pictureThe presence of Chris Gayle, Dwayne Smith, Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Nabi combined with Tamim Iqbal, Abdur Razzak and Taskin Ahmed gives the Chittagong side a high chance of winning the title this year. They have a squad for every situation, so the trick will be to use them properly. Even someone like Chaturanga de Silva was picked because of his outstanding Dhaka Premier League season. Chittagong also selected Jubair Hossain as their last draft pick, to add to the variety of a bowling line-up that also includes the pace of Taskin, Tymal Mills and Imran Khan jnr and Razzaks fastish left-arm spin.Position in BPL 3SixthKey playerDespite having a strong side that will get better as the tournament progresses, much of Chittagongs fortunes will depend on how Tamim Iqbal performs as opener and captain. He had a good BPL last time but the team didnt do well, so he will need to maintain his high standards while pulling the rest of the team along with him.CoachMohammad Salahuddin was the first acquisition of the Chittagong franchise ahead of the 2016-17 BPL, mainly because of his success with Comilla Victorians who lifted the title last season. Salahuddin has been tasked to bring the trophy to Chittagong, for which he has already build a strong team from scratch.One that got awayMohammad Amir was Chittagongs star performer last season, taking 14 wickets in nine matches. The 2015-16 BPL was his first overseas tournament after returning from his spot-fixing ban. Despite Chittagong building a fine team, they will miss Amir.Below the radarWicketkeeper Zakir Hasan was a revelation during the U-19 World Cup, calm behind the stumps and classy with his strokes in front of it. He is likely to be Anamul Haques understudy as wicketkeeper but that might not be for too long. Clearance Nike Shoes From China .

The Armada appealed to the league that they got damaged goods when they dealt a first-round selection to the Sea Dogs on Jan. 2 for forward Ryan Tesink. The St. Louis Blues prospect played only six games before he was sidelined for more than two months with a knee injury. League comissioner Gilles Courteau ruled that Saint John will keep the pick, which is third overall in this years draft, but that the Armada will retain its rights to Tesink and get the fifth overall pick in the 2014 draft. If the Armada trade the 19-year-old, the pick will drop to 19th overall at the end of the first round.dddddddddddd Courteau said Saint John acted in good faith, but the league needs to clarify the wording of its trade documents. "Sea Dogs general manager Mike Kelly relied on the reports and opinions that were given to him by specialists when he signed, what we believe to be in good faith, the trade declaration on Jan. 2," Courteau said in a statement. "To this point, the undersigned is of the opinion that the Saint John Sea Dogs integrity cannot be questioned. "The league shall re-evaluate its rules to avoid similar situations from reccurring," he added. "Circumstances of the present case are exceptional and even constitute a first for the QJMHL." ' ' '
