DHAKA, Nov 4, 2024 (BSS)-West Indies star Johnson Charles vowed to win the
Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) title for Dhaka Capitals, which has roped in
him as direct signing for the tournament.
'I will play for Dhaka Capitals in this year's BPL. Dhaka fans get ready,
come to support us. Let's fight together and bring the trophy to Dhaka,"
Charles said in a video posted by the team's social media platform today.
"It's gonna be a blast."
Charles was seen in the BPL for the last few years. He won the title for
Rangpur Riders and also got a taste of the title for Comilla Victorians.
Charles played for Comilla Victorians in the last two seasons of BPL in fact.
In the first season, he hammered 52 ball-79, smashing seven fours and five
sixes to help Comilla win the final against Sylhet Strikers.
In that season Comilla confirmed the playoffs, thanks to the century of
Johnson Charles as the Caribbean star slammed 107 off 56 balls with five
fours and 11 sixes to help the side chase down Khulna's 211.
Although he did not win the title in the last season, he took the team to the
finals through his consistent good performance.
He has another century in BPL during his stint with Rangpur Riders. In the
fifth season, he scored a century against Comilla Victorians in the second
qualifier for Rangpur Riders.
Dhaka which will play this BPL under new ownership, also expects Charles to
blast this season for them.
"When Johnson Charles says, 'it's gonna be a blast', you know something big
is coming!," they wrote in their social media platform. "The Dhakaiyas are
eagerly waiting to see your fireworks, Johnson."
