The Bangladesh Women's Cricket League is a women's domestic cricket competition that takes place in Bangladesh.[1] The tournament is played using first-class format.[2] Each match is scheduled for up to two days. The first edition of the competition was held in 2022–23.[3] The tournament sees three teams competing, each representing one of the three major rivers of Bangladesh.[4]

History

Following the success of Bangladesh in 2018 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup, plans were going on to establish a two-day red-ball match for women since August 2018.[5] In April 2021, the International Cricket Council awarded permanent women's Test status to Bangladesh women's national cricket team.[6] The lack of a domestic first-class cricket competition for women prevented Bangladesh to start playing Test matches.[7] The 2022–23 edition is the first-ever women's multi-day competition in Bangladesh, launched by the Bangladesh Cricket Board in March 2023.[8] In March 2023, the tournament was inaugurated by the chairman of BCB women's wing Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel MP, at Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna.[9] The competition was introduced to prepare women cricketers for Test cricket and adapt themselves with the longer version.[10]

The first edition of the tournament took place from 30 March to 8 April 2023 in a round-robin format. All the matches ended in a draw and thus the championship was clinched by Team Meghna in terms of quotient.[11]
