The recent strike of cricketers left NCL in doubt but a quick resolution made it possible to resume the most prestigious first-class cricket event of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), however, wanted to skip the third round but the cricketers urged BCB to not do so.
In tier-one of the third round of NCL, Rajshahi and Khulna divisions will respectively take on Rangpur and Dhaka divisions. Both games will take place in Cox’s Bazar.
In tier-two, Barishal Division and Dhaka Metro will respectively lock horns with Chattogram and Sylhet divisions in Fatullah and Bogura.
Currently, Khulna are at the top of the table in tier-one with 13.7 points from one win and one draw from two matches. Barishal are leading the points table of tier-two with 12 points from one win and one draw.
