| player of the series = Shakib Al Hasan (Dhaka Gladiators) The Bangladesh Premier League 2013 season, also known as BPL Season 2 or Prime Bank BPL 2013 (for sponsorship reasons), was the second season of the Bangladesh Premier League, established by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in 2012. The tournament began on 18 January 2013 and ended on 19 February. The competition featured seven teams, with the addition of the Rangpur Riders to the six franchise teams that played the first edition of the tournament. Dhaka Gladiators became champions again by beating Chittagong Kings by 43 runs in the final.
This season did not include any Pakistan players as the Pakistan Cricket Board refused to release the 27 players sold at the auction in retaliation to Bangladesh cancelling their international tour of Pakistan over safety issues.
Venues
Most of the matches were held at the Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. For the first time, matches were played in Khulna at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium. MA Aziz Stadium hosted the matches in Chittagong, instead of Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, which hosted the tournament in the first season.
