The decision came amid growing calls for a domestic T20 competition outside the Bangladesh Premier League to develop more local talent in the shortest format of the game. The Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM) had previously expressed a willingness to stage a domestic T20 competition last season, but to no avail. “The T20 tournament will be held before the start of the Dhaka Premier League. They will be divided into four groups.”Matches in the group stage of the tournament will be played between Feb 25 and Feb 27. The BCB is working on securing official T20 status to the tournament, as is the case with the BPL, said Inam, also the chairman of CCDM.
