The Cricketers Welfare Association of Bangladesh (CWAB) has expressed frustration over the ongoing stagnation of Dhaka leagues in a letter addressed to Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Aminul Islam Bulbul, according to a CWAB media release on Sunday.

The letter was also sent to Adnan Rahman Dipon, chairman of the Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM), who was out of the country.

CWAB said both letters had been received by the board.

In the letter, CWAB highlighted that while the domestic cricket season is approaching its final stages, the stalemate between clubs and the BCB continues. It noted the lack of preparation for the Third Division League and the absence of any initiative for players unable to participate in the Second Division League.

“There are no visible discussions or plans to start the Dhaka Premier League. Overall, the current state of domestic cricket is extremely disappointing for the players,” the letter read.

The association also raised concerns over the impact on players, many of whom depend on these leagues for their livelihood.

The letter concluded by expressing hope that, as the “guardian of Bangladesh cricket”, Bulbul would take the necessary steps to resume the leagues.
