The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) Governing Council has announced the schedule for the upcoming edition of the BPL. The T20 franchise league in Bangladesh will begin on January 19, although with a minor delay owing to national elections. The tournament’s one-and-a-half-month run will come to an end on March 1.

Twelve matches will be hosted in Sylhet, twelve in Chattogram, while the remaining 22 will be staged in Mirpur.

Because many of the teams rely heavily on overseas recruiting from Pakistan around the globe, the PSL in Pakistan will be played from mid-February to mid-March, which may have the greatest impact on the BPL.

The BPL featured 25 Pakistani cricketers last season, including top players like Iftikhar Ahmed and Mohammad Rizwan, Players from Afghanistan, England, and the West Indies are in high demand in the BPL.
