==History==
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:Khulna Titans Logo.png|180px|thumb|right|Former logo of Khulna Titans]] -->
The [[Khulna Royal Bengals]] team was originally formed by [[Orion Group]] and participated in the first two seasons of the [[Bangladesh Premier League]] in [[2011/12 Bangladesh Premier League|2011/12]] and [[2012/13 Bangladesh Premier League|2012/13]]. Following the suspension of all of the BPL franchises following a range of financial and spot-fixing issues during the second season of the league, the original franchise was not re-established for the third season of the BPL in [[2015/16 Bangladesh Premier League|2015/16]].
==Season overview==
{{unreferenced section|date=August 2017}}
===2011/12===
{{see also|2011-12 Bangladesh Premier League}}
Khulna Royal Bengals forged a strong side with the likes of [[Shakib Al Hasan]] as captain and some other well known players such as [[Shivnarine Chanderpaul]], [[Dwayne Smith]] and [[Herschelle Gibbs]]. In the league stage, the team was pretty outstanding, advancing to the playoffs finishing only second to [[Dhaka Gladiators]]. However, they lost a cliffhanger to Dhaka in the semi finals, finishing off with a respectable outing
===2012/13===
{{see also|2012-13 Bangladesh Premier League}}
After a strong last season, Khulna could not make a team as strong as their previous campaign. This time they have [[Shahriar Nafees]] as captain who had [[Riki Wessels]], [[Shapoor Zadran]] and more as company. Khulna had a disastrous season this time. Losing 75% of their 12 matches, finishing last at 7th.
===2016/17===
{{see also|2016-17 Bangladesh Premier League}}
After a complete change in the franchise ownership and management Khulna Titans were established in advance of the [[2016–17 Bangladesh Premier League]]. They had a stable team with the likes of sume talented Bangladeshi players such as [[Mahmudullah]] (icon), [[Shafiul Islam]], [[Ariful Haque]], [[Mosharraf Hossain (cricketer)|Mosharraf Hossain]]. They added 9 overseas to their roster such as [[Riki Wessels]], [[Junaid Khan (cricketer)|Junaid Khan]], [[Lendl Simmons]], [[Nicholas Pooran]] and [[Andre Fletcher]]. They were able to get to the playoffs but were defeated by both [[Rajshahi Kings]] and [[Dhaka Dynamites]]. They ended up second in the team rankings with Junaid Khan as their leading wicket-taker and Mahmudullah as the leading scorer. They won nail-biting encounters against [[Chittagong Vikings]] and [[Rajshahi Kings]] in the league stage. They finished with being known as 'the team with the best bowling attack' as two of their seamers (Junaid and Shafiul) were in the top 10 most wickets list for the tournament and had a rather disappointing Batting lineup as most batter failed to show their potential other than Ariful and their icon.
===2017/18===
{{see also|2017-18 Bangladesh Premier League}}
They re-signed [[Mahmudullah Riyad]] as their icon while they also made contracts with [[South Africa]]n cricketers [[Rilee Rossouw]], [[Kyle Abbott (cricketer)|Kyle Abbott]], [[Aussie]] star [[Chris Lynn]] (will miss BPL due to injury), [[Windies]]'s [[2016 ICC World T20]] hero [[Carlos Brathwaite]] and his national teammate [[Chadwick Walton]]. They also signed [[Englishman]] [[Dawid Malan]] and [[Lanka]]n all-rounder [[Seekkuge Prasanna]] and more. They retained [[Junaid Khan (cricketer)|Junaid Khan]], [[Ariful Haque]], [[Shafiul Islam]], [[Mosharraf Hossain (cricketer)|Mosharraf Hossain Rubel]] and [[Benny Howell]]. [[Pakistani]] Wicket-keeper batsman [[Sarfraz Ahmed]], leg spinner [[Shadab Khan]] and Junaid will be unavailable for selection on a temporary basis due to domestic commitments.
From the draft, the Titans signed 8 locals (more than minimum of 7) and 2 foreigners. Their first pick was bought [[Nazmul Hossain Shanto]] while the surprise picks were U19 skipper [[Saif Hassan]] and little-known local pacer [[Imran Ali (Partex Sporting Club cricketer)|Imran Ali]] and [[Barbados]]-born [[English people|English]] cricketer [[Jofra Archer]]. The interesting thing about Imran is that he took a 5-wicket haul in his second [[List-A]] match. They signed Sri Lankan batting all-rounder [[Shehan Jayasuriya]] and other locals from the draft.
Khulna Titans had the strong start with a win against [[Sylhet Sixers]]. The team was pretty consistent throughout the tournament and finished 3rd in the league stage, hence qualifying to the playoffs. In the eliminator against [[Rangpur Riders]] a one-man show from [[Chris Gayle]], who struck an unbeaten 126, blew the Titans away and had them eliminated.
===2018/19===
{{see also|2018-19 Bangladesh Premier League}}
Khulna Titans retained [[Mahmudullah Riyad]], [[Nazmul Hossain Shanto]], [[Ariful Haque]] and [[Carlos Brathwaite]]. They also signed [[English people|English]] batsman [[Dawid Malan]] and [[United States|American]] fast bowler [[Ali Khan (American cricketer)|Ali Khan]] pre-draft.
In the draft, the Titans got the very first pick and signed wicket-keeper batsman [[Jahurul Islam (cricketer)|Jahurul Islam]]. Their overseas signings in the draft included veteran seamer [[Lasith Malinga]], leg-spinner [[Yasir Shah]], wicket-keeper batsman [[Brendan Taylor]] and more. Some of their domestic picks were [[Junaid Siddiqui]], [[Subashis Roy]], [[Taijul Islam]], the young left-arm seamer [[Shoriful Islam]] and more.
===2019/20===
{{see also|2019-20 Bangladesh Premier League}}
The franchise had signed former Australian captain and all-rounder [[Shane Watson]] and South African leg spinner [[Imran Tahir]] as their two direct overseas signings.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/108994/shane-watson-signs-for-khulna-titans|title=Shane Watson signs for Khulna Titans|work=Cricbuzz|date=18 July 2019|author=Atif Azam}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://bn.bdcrictime.com/বিপিএল-খেলতে-চুক্তিবদ্ধ/|title=বিপিএল খেলতে চুক্তিবদ্ধ হলেন ইমরান তাহির|work=BDCricTime|date=3 July 2019|language=bn}}</ref>
However, During the player's direct signing period, a ''Conflict of Interests'' aroused between BCB and all other franchise. Subsequently, in September 2019, BCB made some changes in rules and regulations for this season and eliminating all franchises, BCB took over the charge of the current BPL and decided to run this current tournament by the board itself and named the tournament as '''Bangabandhu BPL T20 2019''' in order to pay homage to [[Sheikh Mujibur Rahman]] on his birth centenary.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/109870/bcb-cricket-to-conduct-t20-tournament-instead-of-bpl-after-fallout-with-franchises |title=BCB to conduct T20 tournament instead of BPL after fallout with franchises |work=Cricbuzz|date=11 September 2019}}</ref> [[Premier Bank Limited]] became the team sponsor of Khulna. They renamed it to '''Khulna Tigers'''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tigercricket.com.bd/2019/11/18/media-release-bangabandhu-bpl-t20-2019-squads/ |title=Bangabandhu BPL T20 2019 squads | work= Bangladesh Cricket Board| date=17 November 2019}}</ref> They have signed the likes of [[Mushfiqur Rahim]] and [[Mohammad Amir]] in the draft.
