Another special thing about this tournament is that each team will include only one foreign player and each team will have a maximum of 15 players.

We want to give more opportunities to our local cricketers and increase competitiveness.

This will be the first women's T20 tournament to be held in Bangladesh. Currently, Bangladesh women cricketers play one-day league in Dhaka, and recently BCB introduced three-day competition for women. With this new initiative, BCB is hoping to give a new direction to women's cricket.
