It seems lot more work than simply writing an English article.
One way (and in my opinion the best) to quickly write bangla article is this:

1. Use a transliteration banla software to write bangla articles on the fly. Example: bangsee. It's supereasy to use. We do the same thing all the time here on this board.

Whenever we want to write something in Bangla, we just write something like this:

Ami bangla bhashai likhte pocchondo kori.

The transliteration software such as Bangsee converts the above "Bangla-written-in-english-letters" to actual Bangla font-based "Bangla-in-bangla"on the fly. There are some rules of course, but it's minimal and extremely intuitive.

2. Write Bangla articles in using a transliteration wordprocessor. Save it as a webpage.

3. The webmaster of banglacricket will create an embedded font from the one used in the transliteration software.

4. Upload the webpage with the article on Banglacricket server in the directory where the font is. And voila! Read articles in Bangla.

-------------------------------

Writers don't need to worry about anything but writing articles on their transliteration software and saving them as webpages and then send/email the file to the administrator.

Caveat:

Transliteration softwares like Bangsee are not free. There was another software called Bornosoft (Our Rafiq Bhai actually donated for that project) which is supposed to be free. I will check.
