Former India U19 captain Unmukt Chand, who won the 2012 Youth World Cup, has become the first Indian ever to be drafted by a Bangladesh Premier League BPL franchise, as he will be turning out in BPL 2023 for Chattogram Challengers.
BCCI-contracted cricketers are not allowed to play in foreign leagues but Chand quit playing domestic cricket in India after signing a three-year deal with USA’s Major League Cricket MLC in 2022.
