West Indies power-hitters like Chris Gayle and Rahkeem Cornwall are set to play in the upcoming edition of the Bangladesh Premier League to be played from January 5, 2023 to February 16.
Gayle played for Barishal in the last edition of the BPL, where he was the second-highest run-scorer for his team.
The left-handed batter scored 241 runs from 10 matches at an average of 26.77 and a strike-rate of 112.61 with one half-century and a top score of an unbeaten 52.
Cornwall recently played for the Barbados Royals in the 2022 edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
The right-hander also hit a double century of late to give an account of his credentials in the shorter format of the game. Cornwall is also more than handy as an off-spin bowler.
Meanwhile, Fortune Barishal, has retained Shakib Al Hasan as their icon player. Team finished as the runner-up after losing to Comilla Victorians by one run in the final.
