The 2019–20 BPL season, also known as BPL 7 or Bangabandhu BPL presented by Akash DTH (for sponsorship reasons), is the seventh season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), the top level professional Twenty20 cricket league in Bangladesh. The competition is organised by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).[1] The season was scheduled to originally start from 6 December 2019 and end on 11 January 2020, with the opening ceremony to be held on 3 December 2019.[2] Comilla Victorians are the defending champions.[3] However, the tournament was delayed by five days and started on 11 December 2019 and will end on 17 January 2020, with the opening ceremony held on 8 December 2019.[4]
Chittagong Vikings were announced as not taking part in this edition of the tournament after their ownership was sold, and were replaced by two new teams. A total of eight teams were originally scheduled to participate in this edition of the tournament, with contracts of pre-signed cricketers being cancelled until the players’ draft. However, the idea was cancelled, with the number of teams being reverted to seven, and Chittagong Vikings being renamed to Chattogram Challengers and reinstated after the change of format by the BCB.
The seventh season of the Bangladesh Premier League will begin on December 11, 2019.Are you ready for some cricket action?
