The BCB had to postpone the franchise-based BPL competition in 2021 because of the covid-19 epidemic. Instead, the Bangladesh Cricket Board hosted a twenty20 event in December 2020 involving domestic players. No foreign players were allowed in that competition. Since the BPL is returning with a franchise system, foreign players will be featured at this year's event. Therefore, the enthusiasm among BPL fans has returned. The tournament's entire schedule has already been confirmed. Let's take a look at the complete BPL fixtures 2022.
