“The BCB President has given a clear direction on the importance of players’ safety during these times. The Board has successfully completed two tournaments this season and has hosted the West Indies in Bangladesh. We will draw from these learnings and make plans for the Bangabandhu DPL accordingly,’’ he said.  

‘’We know what this league means to the players and clubs and appreciate their support during the planning stage,’’ Inam added.

BCB earlier stated that DPL will resume from May 6 but had to change its plan due to second wave corona pandemic.

The 2019-20 season’s DPL was postponed on March 19 last year after just one completed round of matches in compliance with measures taken to fight the COVID-19 outbreak in the country.
