Women’s Bangladesh Premier League to begin after BPL
In an exciting news for women's cricket in Bangladesh, the board is preparing to launch the Women's Bangladesh Premier League, marking the first-ever Women's T20 tournament in the country. The tournament is likely to be held immediately following the conclusion of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League, which ends on February 7. The tournament is set to be a three-team event. Each team will be playing the others twice during the six league games followed by the final.
"The board has been thinking about the various ways that we can take women's cricket forward. Whether we can do a T20 competition for women was in our thoughts. We have decided today that we will do the Women's BPL,” Nazmul Abedeen Fahim, the BCB director, was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
Each team will have a one overseas player in the playing XI.
"We won't take many overseas players due to the financial constraints. Four overseas players puts financial pressure on the teams; perhaps they don't want to take that pressure. We want to give more opportunities to our domestic cricketers. We want to add competitiveness."
