After the postponement of the tour of Sri Lanka, the BCB has taken various initiatives to keep the cricketers on the field. As part of this, the Bangladesh Cricket Regulatory Authority is organizing a tournament with three teams. The 50-over edition will start with the match between Mahmudullah XI and Nazmul XI at 1.30 pm on Sunday.
The BCB is organizing the tournament as part of the process of starting cricket, which was stopped due to corona. They see the three-team competition as an 'experimental series' of the Corona period. As a result, the highest governing body of Bangladesh cricket is trying its best to make the competition attractive.
