Bangladesh Premier League, also known as Dutch-Bangla Bank BPL for sponsorship reasons, is a professional Twenty20 Cricket league organised by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). It was formed in 2011 by the BCB, after the suspension of its predecessor organisation, 2009/10 National Cricket League Twenty20. The first season was held in February 2012, and the games were held across Dhaka and Chittagong. The BPL is headed by the chairman of its Governing Council.
