Shakib Khan Owner Dhaka Franchise

Actor Shakib Khan has made a significant move in the world of sports by acquiring ownership of the Dhaka franchise in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) through his company, Remark-Harlan.

This acquisition marks a notable crossover from his successful career in the film industry to the competitive arena of cricket.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed that the purchase process finalized the contracts and financial arrangements. Shakib Khan, a prominent figure in Bengali cinema, joined Remark-Harlan earlier this year, taking on the roles of managing director and owner.

Although he plays a key role in the company, Walton, a leading electronics manufacturer in Bangladesh, backed the founding of Remark-Harlan. The company specializes in cosmetics and home care products, and Khan’s involvement reflects his expanding influence beyond acting.

The Dhaka team, previously known as “Duronto Dhaka” under the ownership of Newtex Group, has a history of rebranding. Before that, the team was called “Dhaka Dominators” under the ownership of Rupa Group .
