BSS, Dhaka :
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon, MP, revealed that all of the events-both domestic and International to be held in Mujib Year, organized by his board will be named after Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The BCB indeed started naming all the events after Bangabandhu since the beginning of the Mujib Year.
The BCB organised the first ever tournament with Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) on Bangabandhu’s birth centenary (2020). Then Dhaka Premier League 2019-20 was also organised. But just then (March 15) the coronavirus began to spread across the country, and the BCB did not host any competitive cricket until November.
Then, in November, for the first time during the pandemic, a five-team Bangabandhu T20 Cup was organized by creating a bio-safety zone. Even the West Indies series that ended last month was named after Bangabandhu. Thus, all the domestic and international series and tournaments to be organized by the BCB till December this year (Mujib Year) will be in the name of Bangabandhu, said BCB President Nazmul Hassan Papon.
