Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hasan said that they are ready to take up the challenge of bringing back cricket in a bigger scale after successfully completing the BCB President’s Cup.

‘’The next stage is now we want to do a T20 tournament. It was a three-team tournament earlier and now there will be five teams. It will be challenging for us as well,’’ Nazmul told reporters after the prize giving ceremony at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.

‘’It will be difficult but we are taking up this challenge and hopefully it will start on November 15th. We will give the details tomorrow. We will give an expression of interest as to who wants to be the sponsor for these five teams. We will fix it according to that,’’ he added. ‘’Bringing back cricket back to the field was a big challenge. There was always a fear in mind that what would happen if a boy was attacked while going to this tournament and who will take the responsibility and for that we have maintained bio –bubble,’’ he said regarding launching the three-team 50-over tournament.

‘’The purpose is to bring us international cricket here and whether we can go and play outside because all countries will have the same rules (bio-bubble). We tried to provide them (cricketers and members of the team management) to adapt to this circumstances and the players have suffered   throughout the tournament because they could not get out of the hotel floor with the coaching staff as well,’’ he said.

BCB President’s Cup, first competitive cricket tournament, since the corona virus pandemic, ended without any trouble as Mahmudullah XI clinched the championship after beating Nazmul XI by seven wickets at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in the capital.
