The president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, Nazmul Hasan, on Monday expressed doubts about the timeliness of the next Bangladesh Premier League.
Besides announcing the seven teams for the next cycle of the BPL, the BCB has also set the dates for the tournament. BPL 2023 from January 6th to February 16th, BPL 2024 from January 6th to February 17th, BPL 2025 from January 1st to February 17th. January 17th. From January to February 11th.
However, BCB officials said the BPL date had to be changed as it became harder for the franchise to get high-profile stars, clashing with leagues like SA20, Australia’s Big Bash and United Arab Emirates’ ILT20. Said there might be… the shortest format for a tournament.
Nazmul said at the moment he is struggling to win a seat in the BPL next due to the general elections scheduled for January 2024, and for security reasons he has decided not to take the BPL. I added that it should be played in two parts.
He said, “Next he won’t get a seat in the BPL and it’s almost impossible to get a seat. There is one, but if there is a general election that will require security guards, we may need a gap in between,” Nazmul told reporters at the Sylhet International Stadium on Monday.
Nazmul added that he will appoint his next head coach by February 20. Bangladesh will play its next international match against England, where he will play in three ODIs and he will play in three Twenty20 Internationals, from 1 March.
Before the series starts, the BCB must find its next head coach. The position has been vacant since Russell Domingo resigned midway through.
Mr Nazmul added that he was impressed with the facilities in Sylhet and that the construction site for the BCB Academy has been completed. After the press conference, Nazmul held a lengthy meeting at the SICS Presidential Box with test and T20I skipper Shakib Al Hasan.
