Bangladesh team will travel to South Africa next month to play two Tests and three ODIs. The clubs wanted to play more foreign players due to the unavailability of the national team cricketers but CCDM allowed only one foreign player to play subject to negotiations with the clubs.
The 2020 Premier League started without foreign cricketers. But the league was suspended indefinitely after only one round due to the coronavirus outbreak. In 2021, it became difficult to find free time and the DPL was held in the T20 format. However, this time the tournament is returning in 50-over format again.
