Shakib Al Hasan has been the most expensive buy in this year's Bangladesh Premier League auction. He was bought for $365,000 by Dhaka after six teams showed interest in the allrounder.
Among the overseas players, players from Pakistan commanded top prices. Imran Nazir, who was bought for $280,000 by Chittagong, became the most-expensive overseas buy. Dhaka forked out $275,000 for Pakistan allrounder Shahid Afridi making him the second most expensive overseas buy.

1.As in BPL1, Indians kept away. Jealousy because we are able to organize this tournament efficiently and scam-free. Indians are also scared that this and SPL will eventually degrade their IPL which has become rotten with heavy graft.

2. I am surprised that no Afghan player was up for auction. Some of them are good material for T20. Perhaps next time.
