BPL 01 In the first two seasons,
Mashrafe Bin Mortaza captained the team and
Ian Pont was the head coach. Dhaka Gladiators started off their campaign disappointingly by losing against an experienced Khulna Royal Bengals which was led by all rounder Shakib Al Hasan. However this was succeeded by three consecutive wins even without players like Shahid Afridi and Saeed Ajmal. During their third victory against Barisal Burners, they made the highest total of the tournament by scoring 208 runs for five wickets. They defended this score, even though Chris Gayle scored a century for the Barisal Burners. Later in the tournament, they failed to chase mediocre targets due to batting collapses. In the final, Dhaka Gladiators beat the Barisal Burners to be crowned champions of BPL 2012.
BPL 02 For the 2012/13 season, Dhaka Gladiators bought all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan who was the most expensive player and the captain in the tournament. They bought fast bowler
Mashrafe Mortaza, the emerging wicket keeper
Anamul Haque and more. They also bought South African pace bowler
Alfonso Thomas, and
West Indians
Kieron Pollard and
Chris Gayle who were only available for one game. They bought English players
Luke Wright,
Owais Shah,
Darren Stevens, bowler
Chris Liddle and batsman
Josh Cobb. This team of players were crowned 2013 champions, just as they had been in 2012. They played 14 games, won 11 and lost only 3. This time their strongest opponent was
Sylhet Royals.
BPL 03 Dhaka Dynamites was introduced in a new look in 2015. During the player draft, Kumar Sangakkara was selected as the captain while Nasir Hossain was picked as the "icon" player. A total of eighteen players was selected in the draft process. The notable players in and out of the draft they purchased were,
Mustafizur Rahman,
Yasir Shah,
Mohammad Hafeez and
Ryan ten Doeschate and
Mohammad Irfan They started off rather smoothly by defeating their arch rival
Comilla Victorians and
Chittagong Vikings but lost their way through defeats against
Rangpur Riders and
Barisal Bulls. Luckily, they finished at 4th place out of 6 teams but lost against the Bulls in the eliminator
BPL 04 After having an average season at BPL 3, the Dynamites started the fourth season with a strong team including the likes of
Shakib Al Hasan,
Andre Russell,
Dwayne Bravo,
Kumar Sangakkara,
Mosaddek Hossain,
Evin Lewis,
Mahela Jayawardene,
Wayne Parnell and
Ravi Bopara. They started their campaign with winning against Barisal Bulls. On their way, they were only defeated by the
Rajshahi Kings and
Khulna Titans. They defeated the Titans in the first qualifier and the Kings in the final, being crowned champions for the third time Dwayne Bravo became the highest wicket taker of the tournament. While Kumar Sangakkara scored most runs for them.
BPL 05 The team has signed many new foreign players among whom
Shahid Afridi,
Shane Watson,
Mohammad Amir and
Sunil Narine are worth mentioning. They retained
Mohammad Shahid,
Mosaddek Hossain and
Mehedi Maruf from the local category while they retained Kumar Sangakkara,
Evin Lewis and
Ronsford Beaton from the overseas department. They also extended the contract of ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan as their icon player. They got the second pick in the local and overseas pick in the draft, choosing pacer
Abu Hider and English batsman
Joe Denly respectively. Their surprise picks were pacers
Khaled Ahmed,
Mohammad Saddam, batsman
Shadman Islam and little-known West Indian orthodox spinner
Akeal Hosein. Dhaka Dynamites had a shaky start with a surprise defeat to
Sylhet Sixers. However, the team soon bounced back and finished 2nd in the league stage. They crushed their biggest rival
Comilla Victorians in Qualifier-1, hence advancing to the final. They didn't manage the defend the title as they suffered a heave defeat to Rangpur Riders in the final who were eventually crowned the champions, securing their maiden trophy.
BPL 06 All the franchises were given until 30 September 2018 to submit their 4 retained cricketers. Dhaka Dynamites retained Shakib Al Hasan, Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine and
Rovman Powell. All Franchises were also allowed to buy 2 foreign players pre-draft but they can't be the ones who played for the team last season. Dhaka Dynamites bought
Afghan hard-hitter
Hazratullah Zazai and
Caribbean all-rounder Andre Russell. In the draft, Dhaka's first pick was local fast bowler
Rubel Hossain. They signed South African bowler
Andrew Birch and English batsman
Ian Bell as their overseas players in draft. They ended up signing 10 local players in the draft. In the tournament Dhaka had a flying start winning five matches out of their first six matches. But they suddenly lost their momentum and suffered five consecutive defeats and eventually pipped Rajshahi Kings out of top four by winning their last group match and qualified for
Eliminator. In the Eliminator they defeated Chittagong Vikings and defeated Rangpur Riders in the
Qualifier 2 to seal their place in the Final. In the
final Comilla Victorians set a target of 200 for Dhaka, but they fell short by 17 runs in their chase and Comilla won the tournament for the second time. Shakib Al Hasan was the highest wicket taker of the season and won the Player of the Tournament for his all-round performances.
BPL 07 The franchise had signed English ODI captain
Eoin Morgan who is the winning captain of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 and South African explosive batsman
David Miller as their two direct signings. However, during the player's direct signing period, a conflict of interest arose between BCB and all other franchises. Subsequently, in September 2019, BCB made some changes in the rules and regulations for the season. Eliminating all franchises, BCB took over charge of the current BPL and decided to run the tournament by the itself, renaming the tournament as the Bangabandhu BPL T20 2019 in order to pay homage to
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on his birth centenary. Jamuna Bank acquired the team's sponsorship rights. The team was renamed for as Dhaka Platoon and signed the likes of
Tamim Iqbal,
Mashrafe Mortaza,
Shahid Afridi,
Thisara Perera and
Wahab Riaz.

Comilla Victorians in
BPL Clasico and enduring 11 consecutive losses.
BPL 11 The Dhaka Capitals franchise had accumulated immense hype and enthusiasm under the new ownership of megastar
Shakib Khan. A theme song was also uploaded on its social media platforms featuring numerous celebrities and cricketers. However, the team failed to leave up to its hype and had a disappointing campaign by just securing three wins and incurring eight losses. The squad consisted of popular local players such as
Litton Das,
Mustafizur Rahman and
Tanzid Hasan Tamim. Its overseas collection included well-known players such as
Johnson Charles,
Saim Ayub,
Thisara Perera,
