Forty-four cricket clubs in Dhaka have boycotted the ongoing First Division Cricket League, alleging irregularities in the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) elections. Despite the league commencing with 12 teams, the dissenting clubs refused to participate, declaring they would not play under the current BCB administration. At a press conference, organizers labeled the board as 'illegal' and vowed to organize independent tournaments without BCB support if necessary.
The dispute stems from demands for a 20-team league and greater transparency in domestic cricket governance. Players have expressed financial concerns due to the boycott, while club leaders like Masuduzzaman and Rafiqul Islam Babu reiterated that only a fair election could resolve the crisis. National cricketer Tamim Iqbal was mentioned as sympathetic to the reformist side, though his club continues to compete.
The standoff has deepened uncertainty in Bangladesh’s domestic cricket structure, with little sign of compromise. Analysts warn that prolonged conflict could harm player development and delay the domestic season’s full resumption.
