History
The club is owned by Agrani Bank, one of the largest banks in Bangladesh.

In their first List A match, in the first round of the 2017–18 tournament, they beat the defending champions Gazi Group Cricketers by 8 wickets. However, they finished the group stage of the 2017–18 tournament in eleventh place, therefore qualifying for the relegation playoffs. In the final match of the relegation playoffs, they lost to Brothers Union by four wickets, therefore relegating them to the Dhaka First Division Cricket League for the next season.

They finished on top of the Dhaka First Division Cricket League in 2023–24, and were again promoted to the Premier Division for the 2024–25 season.
