Aftermath
Some exciting matches were witnessed in the latter stages of the BPL 2022 season. Especially the fifth phase, playoffs, and final match were very enthralling thanks to some outstanding individual performances. However, everyone is unsatisfied with the tournament's overall organization and the lack of quality overseas players. Besides, with the exception of a few, the majority of young Bangladesh cricketers did not perform as anticipated. With these concerns in mind, the BPL officials should concentrate their efforts on making this tournament even better in the future.
