It’s not surprising news for the cricket fans that the Indian Premier League (IPL) is the most popular domestic league in cricket. No other leagues can match the aura and glamor of IPL. This league is on another level totally. Bangabandhu Premier League (BPL) is no match for it. BPL is even behind Pakistan’s PSL. Recently, Indian opener Rohit Sharma gives some tips to make BPL popular in a live session with Tamim Iqbal. Rohit’s point of view was actually quite true about BPL.

Additionally, the popularity of BPL is getting decreased day by day. Big international stars are not also joining here. Most of the top-notch players skip BPL. In a Facebook live session with Bangladeshi opener Tamim Iqbal, Rohit Sharma gives his point of view about BPL.

Tamim accused they don’t get a chance to play longer at BPL while Rohit slams such this practise of BPL.

On top of that, Rohit thinks if a franchise doesn’t have a core player with them for a long time then they might lose their fan base. Moreover, this is not good news at all for a domestic tournament’s teams. According to the Mumbai Indians captain, if the player moves around in every season, fanbase also disappears. The reason is they lose the appeal and interest.

Yeah it’s important, you see that’s how you create a fan base also and Bangladesh is a very very passionate country about cricket, I mean I have never seen any country being so passionate about cricket like Bangladesh, honestly speaking. So, I think if you create that excitement within the fans with certain players staying with a certain franchise for so many years the fan base will also increase and you know the fans will look forward to going and supporting their team with that same passion.

Furthermore, in the live session, Tamim asked Rohit whether he saw BPL. Rohit replied that he watched some highlights on YouTube.

I have seen some videos on Youtube. In India, there was a channel telecasted in this tournament.

In addition, Rohit also suggested Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) keep core players at the franchise. He thinks BCB should try it that way otherwise, the interest of the fans will disappear for the team. Besides, Rohit indicated they Bangladesh is the only place where they do not get any support! He also praised Bangladesh cricket and said this is a totally different Bangladesh side now.
