Bangladesh Cricket Board bosses have made their move for the upcoming 2025-26 domestic cricket season. The big shots decided to kick things off with the National Cricket League Twenty20 tournament in September. BCB director Akram Khan spilled the beans to reporters at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Wednesday. The cricket chiefs originally wanted to start with the Bangladesh Cricket League but switched plans at the last minute. They changed their minds because of the Bangladesh Premier League players' draft coming up.
The board wants to give cricketers a chance to show off their skills before the draft happens. Akram Khan told reporters that Wednesday's meeting involved lots of heated discussions about the schedule changes. The season will roll out with the NCL T20 first, followed by the BPL, then the NCL, and wrapping up with the BCL. Cricket fans will remember that Rangpur Division grabbed the championship trophy in the last tournament held in 2024. They beat Dhaka Metropolis in a thrilling final match to claim the title.
