BCB's T20 tournament to be named as Bangabandhu T20 Cup

The Twenty20 tournament that the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will launch in mid-November will be named as "Bangabandhu T20 Cup" to mark the birth centenary of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, reports BSS.

The BCB has invited Expression of Interest (EoI) from business houses, companies, parties, agencies, consortiums and individuals for teams' rights of the five participating teams of the tournament, scheduled in November-December 2020.

A detailed document (General Guideline) related to EoI will be available at the BCB Management Office and on the BCB's Official Website: www.tigercricket.com.bd

The T20 tournament is also part of BCB's initiative to bring cricket back to the ground gradually. Earlier, the BCB organised a three-team one-day tournament, namely BCB President's Cup.

BCB president Nazmul Hassan Papon said they are ready to take up the challenge of bringing back cricket on a bigger scale after successfully completing the BCB President's Cup.

"Now we want to organise a T20 tournament. It will be challenging for us as well," Papon told reporters after the prize giving ceremony of the BCB President's Cup.

"It will be difficult but we are taking up this challenge and hopefully it will start on November 15. We will give the details later," he remarked.
