- Shakib Al Hasan: Shakib is a top-class all-rounder with tons of IPL experience. His batting and spin bowling skills are a bonus to any team. He’s delivered for different IPL teams over the years.
- Taskin Ahmed: Taskin is an up and coming fast bowler known for his pace and bounce. He’s been working hard to get IPL opportunities. His fitness and ability to bowl fast makes him a valuable asset in T20.
- Mehidy Hasan Miraz: Mehidy is a classic spinner who can also bat in the lower order. He’s improved his T20 game and will attract interest from IPL teams because of his control and ability to adapt.
- Litton Das: Besides being a stylish batsman, Litton is also a skilled wicketkeeper. He’s a double threat in any playing eleven. His experience in international T20 matches adds to his appeal.
- Younger Players (Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana): These players are the future of Bangladesh’s fast bowling. They bring speed, energy and are exactly the kind of fresh talent franchises are looking for. Though several Bangladesh players have been part of IPL auctions, franchise interest has been up and down. For example, none of the Bangladesh players were picked in the 2025 mega auction despite having proven skills. It shows how competitive the market is with so many talented players from around the world.
That being said, Mustafizur remains a strong candidate for IPL contracts and experienced players like Shakib keep Bangladesh cricket visible in the IPL scene. As more Bangladesh players get exposure and perform well in other T20 leagues, their appeal grows. So we might see some big bids for them in 2026 auction.
The 2026 IPL auction will feature mainly those Bangladeshi cricketers who were part of the 2025 mega auction. Mustafizur Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan, and a few other established players will remain crucial for their teams. While this tells that the young fast bowlers and all-rounders seek to establish a foothold in the T20 IPL world from Bangladesh. Even though with a stiff competition, IPL is still called the quality in the world of all T20 leagues, and this exposure gives Bangladesh players an opportunity for a showcase on a big platform.
