The ongoing conflict between the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and Dhaka clubs has left over 1,600 professional cricketers in Bangladesh without a league for the past seven months. The dispute began after the BCB elections in October 2022, which many clubs deemed illegal due to procedural irregularities. As a result, 39 clubs have boycotted the Dhaka Premier League, the country's most significant domestic competition. Cricketers' Welfare Association of Bangladesh (CWAB) president Mohammad Mithun highlighted the league's importance as a primary income source for players, emphasizing the need for resolution. Despite CWAB's attempts to mediate, the BCB, led by president Aminul Islam, has shown reluctance to engage with the protesting clubs. This standoff has not only stalled the leagues but has also left many players unpaid, exacerbating their financial struggles. The situation has raised concerns about the future of the Dhaka Premier Division, which is scheduled to start in the 2025-26 season.
