BCB President Nazmul Hassan revealed the board decision after a meeting on Sunday.
The fourth BPL is set to be staged in a year successive to the third after a gap of a year between the second (2013) and third (2015).
Following a complete tour of Bangladesh, the England team is scheduled to leave Bangladesh on Nov 3.
The Tigers have their New Zealand tour lined up for December. So the national team players will get little time to rest.
The BPL 2015, which was held in November-December, featured six teams. Mashrafe Bin Mortaza's Comilla Victorians won the title after beating Mahmudullah's Barisal Bulls in the final.
