not playing international cricket during the domestic period is not the answer to improving domestic cricket, they need to improve it in other ways because if they do it that way then the national team suffers and ultimately the national team is where we want big results to happen.

Lets not compare other countries with Bangladesh. By no means am I saying BCB shouldnt arrange international tours for domestic schedule. But we just had couple of months of zero schedule and BCB took no initiative to keep players engaged. Whats more they even refused an Irish invitation. Now we are getting into a period where our players will have a fairly busy schedule so we dont need more than that.
About NCL, well its been a while since we had all our players playing at the same time. our players can use NCL to improve their temperament, endurance. Our bowlers can experiment on variations. Inviting teams like Zimbabwe or Ireland makes no financial sense whatsoever for BCB anyways.
Again, It would be great if someone invites us. If not, just stick to playing NCL for that duration.
