Shakib wants to bring the title to Barisal

 Barisal Division is represented in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) as a team that has participated in the last 6 editions four times. Barisal Burners in the first two editions and Barisal Bulls in the next two editions.

However, after 2016, no other Barisal team was seen in BPL. Cricket fans of this division have to be disappointed twice after reaching the final after playing in the play-offs twice in the previous 4 editions. But this time, the franchise owners of 'Fortune Barisal' are desperate to change the fate of Barisal.

Fortune Barisal wanted to organize some more activities in Barisal city including unveiling of their jerseys. This would have created more opportunities for local supporters to get closer. However, as the situation deteriorated again, it had to be canceled. The contracts of the team's cricketers, coaching staff and team management were finalized at Gulshan in the capital yesterday. There, Shakib expressed his expectations about the team. Tiger all-rounder also said that he is thrilled to play for Barisal. "I am just excited," he said
