The Bangladesh First Division Cricket League began in Mirpur with a grand opening ceremony featuring Bangladesh Police Cricket Club and Old DOHS. However, the festive start was overshadowed by boycotts, as three of the five scheduled matches failed to take place. Several clubs, protesting alleged irregularities in league elections, refused to take the field, resulting in automatic walkovers for their opponents under league bylaws. According to the Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM), four clubs—Partex Sporting Club, Gazi Tyres Cricket Academy, Amber Sporting Club, and Kalabagan Krira Chakra—were relegated to the Second Division for boycotting their opening matches. While Baridhara Dazzlers and Dhaka United received full points from walkovers, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has yet to officially confirm the relegations. The CCDM will now revise the fixture list for the second round without the demoted teams. The boycott movement, involving up to 44 clubs, may continue into upcoming rounds, potentially causing further disruptions and forcing the BCB to manage a shortened league season.
