This will provide an opportunity for other players to score big runs and be on the top of the BPL most runs 2019-20 list. As the T20 format is slightly tilted towards the batsmen, it will be easier for them to be on top of the bowlers. The pitches in the country are more helpful to the spinners than the pacers, which will ensure that all teams include at least two spinners in the playing XI.

The batsmen who use their feet well, or have the ability to hit the ball cleanly will have greater chances of getting into the Bangladesh Premier League most runs section. The absence of Shakib will take a strong batting contender out of the list and also a strong bowler who can restrict others from scoring big runs.
Some international T20 stars like Chris Gayle, Dawid Malan, Thisara Perera, Shahid Afridi, Rilee Rossouw, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Nabi and Shai Hope will always be in contention of being the highest run-getters in BPL. The fans should have an eye on the BPL Most Runs list and keep looking for these global stars to entertain once again.
