BPL 4 to start from November 6

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had an board meeting on Sunday. Some important decisions came from the meeting. One of them is, the fourth season of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is going to start from November 6 this year.

BCB President Nazmul Hassan Papon said, “Like the other decisions, we have also taken the decision about BPL. BPL will start from November 6 this year. We informed about this earlier. Now we just fixed the date.”

England cricket team are supposed to tour Bangladesh in October for a full series. England are supposed to leave Bangladesh on November 3, which means the cricketers will concentrate on BPL just after the England series. After the BPL, the Tigers will fly to New Zealand for another full series. The series will start on December 26.
