Nazmul Hasan Papon said, ‘The heat is unexpected. We have never seen anything like this before. It will be on our minds. This will be kept in mind when we plan sports in the future.

We will be able to play, the question is whether the clubs will agree to play. Nobody wants to play except the national team players. Considering the commitment they have, it is very difficult to find playing time. ‘There are rumors that Sheikh Sohail will leave the post of BPL Governing Council Chairman. Although he does not know anything about this officially, the BCB boss commented.

Shakib Mohammedan is fifth in the table with one point less than Tamim’s team. Despite playing around the loss circle in the beginning, the picture changed after Shakib joined. The big-budget team has rightly made it to the elite list. Even though 5 teams have made their place fairly early, they have to wait for the sixth position until the end. Gazi Group and Brothers Union played in separate matches in the last round of the league. However, Gazi made it to the top six with 11 points. Meanwhile, Rupganj Tigers, Brothers, and City Club have somehow avoided relegation. Point 9 of Rupganj. And the rest of the two teams collected 8 points.

Now everyone’s focus is on the fight to play in the Super League. After the round-robin league, the top six teams on the points list will play in the Super League. Each team will play five matches there. The top team will win the crown of Premier League excellence. According to the points list, Super League has already confirmed Abahani Limited, Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club, Legends of Rupganj, and Prime Bank Cricket Club. Speculation is rife as to who the final two teams are.

Gazi Group Cricketers will play against Brothers Union and Shinepukur Cricket Club.

Dhaka Leopards, a new team that emerged from the first division, will have to play in this league. Because in 9 matches they won only 1 game. Shinepukur can advance if they win two matches in the last two rounds. Their points are 4 in 9 matches with 2 wins. In that case, Agrani Bank, and City Club may burn their foreheads. But if they do well in the last two rounds, they will avoid relegation.
