Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) Club Rangpur Riders will participate in the five-team West Indian franchise cricket league, the Global Super League.

Rangpur Riders will compete in the overseas league along with four other teams from Australia, England, Pakistan and hosts West Indies, reports UNB.

BCB President Faruque Ahmed disclosed this while addressing the local media on Monday.

The BCB boss said, "West Indies made an announcement to organise the Global Super League with the participation of five teams from Australia, England, Pakistan, Bangladesh and hosts West Indies and accordingly we got the invitation from West Indies.”

"We first offered the last BPL champions Fortune Barisal to participate in the global league, but they regretted the offer, then we went for the semifinalist Rangpur Riders, which will participate in the league if everything goes on right track,” he further added.
