Bottom Line
Several star cricketers were unable to play in the first season of the Dhaka Premier Division T20 Cricket League because of their international commitments. However, this time all of Bangladesh's top cricketers are competing in the competition. That’s why there is an added interest among the general cricket fans around this competition. There is little doubt that all of the participating teams will compete in a tough battle. The competition will be held in a short period of time, so those who can maintain consistency from the start will have a better chance of becoming champions.
