Numerous players from the national team, actively engaged in domestic cricket, will utilize this platform to gear up for the impending tour of New Zealand. Among the participants are two Youth World Cup-winning cricketers, Tanjim Hasan Shakib and Tanjid Hasan Tamim.
As a highly competitive tournament in first-class cricket, BCL will witness the likes of Soumya Sarkar, Vijay Hazare, Tanveer Haider, Rishad Hossain, Junior Tamim Iqbal, and Junior Shakib Al Hasan preparing themselves for the upcoming white-ball battles by engaging in four-day matches with the red ball at Tamsanpar.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board's tournament committee revealed that the four-team BCL will unfold across three venues: Mirpur Sher Bangla Stadium in Dhaka, Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong, and Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Similar to the previous edition, the Kookaburra Ball will be used in the tournament.
On December 5, the southeastern region will kick off the action in Chittagong, while on the same day, the Central-North region will lock horns. Notably, Soumya Sarkar and Vijay Hazare will represent the southern region in the tournament, while Tamim Iqbal will abstain from participating in the BCL. The accomplished opener is slated to make his return to competitive cricket with the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) in January.
Subsequent rounds will commence on December 11 and December 18, with venues spanning Mirpur and Sylhet. Simultaneously, the ODI series matches in New Zealand are scheduled for December 17, 20, and 23, followed by the T20 series with three matches on December 27, 29, and 31.
