The Bangladesh Cricket Board has announced the start of the Women’s Bangladesh Premier League T20. The event will run from April 3 to April 15, 2026.
This will be the first franchise T20 league for women in Bangladesh. The board sees it as a big step for the growth of women’s cricket in the country.
The first season will have three franchise teams. The teams will include top national players and young local talents. Local cricketers will join teams through a draft. The draft will help keep the teams balanced and strong.
Franchises can also sign foreign players. The board hopes this will improve the level of cricket and bring global attention to the league.
The WBPL Governing Council will manage the event. It will be led by Rubaba Dowla, who is a BCB director and Chairperson of the Women’s Wing.
The board said it will share more details soon. It will announce team names, match schedule, venues, and broadcast plans later.
The new league aims to give women cricketers a strong platform and help the game grow across the country.
