CCDM plans for new format


The Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM) is planning to bring some changes in the upcoming Premier Division Cricket League format to make it more competitive.

The CCDM met 12 club officials yesterday where national coach Dav Whatmore, Under-19 coach Richard McInnes and BCB chief executive officer Macky Dudhia were also present.

"We are thinking to divide the teams into two groups where the two top teams from each group will play in the semifinals but everything will depend on the participating clubs. We will meet again next Saturday to take a decision," said CCDM chairman Khandakar Jamil Uddin last night.

But he said that the league would be a two-day 90-over affair.

The most exciting domestic competition is likely to start from March 1. Before that the three-day inter-club players' transfer will start from December 27.
