Default Can B League be a good example for Bangladesh Cricket?

Here is the situation - BCB is at the grip of few strong Dhaka clubs (mostly Abahani and Mohammedan). Previous bodies of BCB tried to strengthen regional bodies from other parts of the country through NCL, but those bodies stayed financially dependent on BCB, corrupt, and inept. It seems highly unlikely that decentralization of cricket can be done through regional bodies.

NCL is now becoming more of a formality, just there to satisfy ICC's requirement from a full member country to have an FC league. IMO, this farce of a national league should be scrapped asap.

If we want to have a meaningful, strong, and professional FC league, it has to involve Dhaka clubs. However, although financially strong and much better organized than regional bodies are, Dhaka clubs still don't have grounds or training facilities to be elevated as FC teams. Dhaka, though financially much stronger than rest of the country, still can't support more than 4-5 clubs well.

My solution - BCB (or NSC) should lease grounds and facilities to clubs. But then again I doubt Dhaka can provide grounds and facilities on regular basis for more than 4 teams (besides academy, U/19, and national teams). BCB need to make better use of ground and facilities from other parts of the country, also of non-Dhaka based sponsors. Like B league for football, they should encourage clubs from other parts of the country to develop. Like football, I am confident Chittagong, Sylhet, and Narayanganj each can support at least one strong cricket team. Like football, four strong Dhaka clubs should fight for top honor in domestic circuit with three teams from those three other cities, and may be an 8th team from BKSP or BCB academy.

This can be also very similar to Sri Lanka's premier league, their main domestic league, where Colombo based clubs fight with clubs from other parts of the country.
