The Dhaka Premier League (DPL) crisis appears to be untangling as the Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM) announced the dates for players’ transfer yesterday.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) issued a press release on Monday, declaring that the players’ transfer will be held on April 18 and 19. The BCB also announced the names of the 12 participating teams.

Of the 12 teams, there were concerns over Legends of Rupganj’s participation after the team’s councillor Lutfar Rahman Badal had told The Daily Star on Friday that he was yet to decide whether they would take part.

However, when asked yesterday, Badal answered in a more optimistic tone, saying, “I have spoken with president Tamim Iqbal and since he has requested, we will consider it.”

Meanwhile, Brothers Union’s stance on the matter has remained vague. An official from another club informed that they have not been able to reach any officials from Brothers Union to know of their position.

The tentative starting date for the league is May 4.
