DHAKA, Jan 18, 2026 (BSS) - Former England allrounder Chris Woakes joined 
Sylhet Titans' practice session today ahead of the remainder of the 
Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

Sylhet have already confirmed their place in the playoffs but will have to 
feature in the Eliminator. The loser of the Eliminator will be knocked out of 
the tournament immediately.

Either Chattogram Royals or Rangpur Riders will join Sylhet in the Eliminator 
on Tuesday.

The Sylhet franchise has also confirmed the availability of England 
wicketkeeper-batter Sam Billings, while talks are ongoing with England opener 
Phil Salt regarding his participation.

Meanwhile, two other England players, Moeen Ali and Ethan Brooks, have 
already linked up with the squad and featured in several matches.
