The draft for the BPL 2025 (11th edition) of the Bangladesh Premier League was completed on Monday. All teams had a hectic day signing their target players to build the strongest squad for the tournament starting on December 27.

All-rounder Mosaddek Hossain and batter Mominul Haque were two notable players left out of the draft. Mosaddek had captained Dhaka Dominators, while Mominul, initially unpicked, was later signed by Rangpur Riders last season.

Teams will still be able to sign players as direct signings.
