DHAKA, Dec 23, 2025 (BSS) - The overseas players for the six BPL franchisees

Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir, who will play for the Sylhet Titans, arrived in 
Sylhet late last night, as confirmed by the franchise management.

Rajshahi Warriors' two direct signings, Sahibzada Farhan and Mohammad Nawaz,
