About Fortune Barishal

Fortune Barishal (Bengali: ফরচুন বরিশাল) is a franchise cricket team that plays in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), representing the country's Barishal Division.

The team was originally established in 2012 for the inaugural BPL season as the Barisal Burners (Bengali: বরিশাল বার্নার্স, often abbreviated as BB). The Burners were the BPL runners-up in 2012. The Burners were one of the teams dissolved in 2013 after the BPL's second edition.

The franchise was sold to the Axiom Technologies and rebranded as the Bulls for the 2015 edition. Axiom Technologies' chairman was banned for life from cricket and thus Awwal Bhulu was sworn in. The Bulls were coached by Graham Ford and captained by Mahmudullah Riyad in the 2015/16 Bangladesh Premier League. Sri Lanka-born Australian Dav Whatmore and Bangladesh's then Test Captain Mushfiqur Rahim were the head coach and captain respectively for Season 4 (2016/17 Bangladesh Premier League).

The team was excluded from BPL 5 due to financial difficulties. The team returned in BPL 8 - 2021–22 Bangladesh Premier League under the ownership of Fortune Sporting Limited. They won BPL 2024 after beating Comilla Victorians by 6 wickets. Tamim Iqbal and Dav Whatmore were the captain and head coach for Fortune Barishal in season 2024, respectively.
