The Khulna division in the Bangladesh Premier League is represented by the Khulna Tigers, a Twenty20 cricket franchise (BPL). Ready to Roar is the name under which the Khulna Tigers compete in the Bangladesh Premier League’s cricket competition. The format of the contests will change to Twenty20, and the team will participate in those games. After being established by Orion Group and participating in the Bangladesh Premier League’s first two seasons (2011–12 and 2012–13), Khulna Royal Bengals competed in those seasons.
The Khulna Titans became known as the Khulna Tigers on November 16 after receiving new sponsorship from MindTree Limited and Premier Bank Limited. This change was made to reflect the new relationship with both companies better. Now The Khulna Tigers are owned by a business organization known as MindTree Limited. Yasir Ali will head the team as its captain, and Khaled Mahmud will be in charge of the team’s practice sessions. The Bangladesh Prominent League, also known as BPL T20, is a premier professional Twenty20 cricket league tournament hosted in India by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).
