Cricket is our pleasure
Hardly very few countrymen will disagree with my statement that cricket -a game of pleasure to us, but to the players it is revenue. Cricket draws more audiences in the stadiums, in front of the television sets, than soccer does in our country. However, professional cricket league championship Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is ahead of all other tournaments.
BPL was formed in 2011 by the Bangladesh Cricket Board, after the suspension of its predecessor organisation, 2009/10 National Cricket League Twenty20. The first season of BPL was held during February 2012, and the games were held across Dhaka and Chittagong. Today, the BPL is one of the most popular T20 leagues in the world. The BPL is headed by the chairman of its Governing Council.
The team with the most BPL titles are Dhaka Dynamites with three titles, twice in a row as Dhakka Gymkhana, Comilla Victorians and Rangpur Riders are the only other teams to be crowned champions. The current champions are Rangpur Riders, who defeated Dhaka Dynamites in BPL Season 5.
