Eventually i hope BCB is able to combine all these leagues. For instance, instead of having Dhaka Club Leage, NCL and now this franchise format 4 day, BPL, why not have the same teams playing all formats. So instead of playing back to back 4 dayers, first a 4 day, then limited over match. Run both leagues parallelly like county cricket. Benefits? There will be more competition, players will have more sense of belonging to a team.

Normally first class tournaments or leagues are held regional based (though there are some exceptions like Pakistan) all over the world. Even in our country goes also same way. One the other hand, Dhaka premier league are held club based traditionally and once it was one of the most competitive tournament in the world. It is still attractive and competitive tournament. So we should continue it. We turn DPL as different categories like first class and shorter version tournaments which will help our players to improve all types of formats.
