The death of BNP Chairperson and former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia has impacted the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). Out of respect for the national mourning, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) decided to postpone today’s scheduled matches.
On Tuesday (December 30), the BCB announced through a press release that the two matches scheduled for today in the BPL 2025-26 season have been cancelled. The matches are: Sylhet Titans vs Chattogram Royals and Dhaka Capitals vs Rangpur Riders.
