Yes, folks, you read that right. It has only been a few days since the mania surrounding the Bangladesh Premier League has ended and now there are talks of another T20 league happening among the Premier League players of the country.

The chairman of the CCDM, the domestic section of the Bangladesh cricket news, Kazi Inam Ahmed, stressed that the competition will have 7-8 teams from the Premier League—the best ones—in order to increase the competitiveness within the circuit.

“We have decided to arrange a T20 league containing top seven to eight teams of the Premier League. The thought of taking eight teams came for increasing the competitiveness of the competition.”

“Generally it is seen that the best six teams fight for the next round and the next three usually compete to avoid the relegation. There is nothing left for the number seven and eight teams. When best eight teams of the premier league will have the chance, the competitiveness will surely increase a lot,” he added.

While there are more than one option about the possible venue of the tournament, Kazi Inam enthused that the initial phase, at least, will happen on the home of cricket in the country: the Shere Bangla Stadium in Mirpur.  

“We want to start the tournament in the home of cricket, Mirpur Shere Bangla National Stadium. Teams will play around two groups or in knock out basis. The attraction of the tournament will surely increase if we could manage the television broadcast.”
