History

The Rangpur Riders was established in 2012, after the first season of the Bangladesh Premier League. The team was bought by Mustafa Rafiqul Islam, owner of iSports Limited. The franchise rights were bought for US$1.1 million at a closed-door auction. Haque Brothers Industries Limited also participated in the bid, but failed to outbid iSports Limited, a sister concern of Flora Telecom. The Riders joined the tournament in 2013 as the seventh team, representing the newly declared Rangpur Division. The team ownership was transferred to Sohana Sports, which is now managed by Bashundhara Group, a pioneering conglomerate of Bangladesh.

On 16 November 2019, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced Incepta Pharmaceuticals as the sponsor of the team, and it was renamed Rangpur Rangers. The team was excluded from the 2021–22 Bangladesh Premier League. In September 2022, Bashundhara Group acquired the ownership and renamed the team back to Rangpur Riders. Rangpur and American Minor League Cricket club Atlanta Fire co-own the Atlanta Riders, who began play in the US Masters T10 league in 2023. In November 2025, Toggi Sports, part of Bashundhara Group, got ownership of the team.
