Gibbs will have his work cut out as Sylhet never have been a successful franchise in Bpl and their team balance on paper does not look as strong as other teams but in twenty-20 cricket teams just need to bond well to get success.
The BBPL will start on December 11. Sylhet will take on Chattagrom Challengers at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium to kick-start their campaign.
