BPL Drops Chattogram Venue Amidst Setbacks, Focus Shifts to Dhaka

• The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) governing council has decided to remove Chattogram as a venue for the remainder of the season.
• The decision followed a two-day postponement of the league due to the death of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.
• BPL member secretary Iftekhar Rahman cited logistical challenges of shifting broadcast equipment and T20 World Cup preparation as reasons.
• Sylhet will continue to host matches until January 12, after which Dhaka will stage the remaining three match days, playoffs, and the final on January 23.
• The season has already faced multiple setbacks, including a team owner relinquishing their franchise, a coach walkout, and the death of an assistant coach.

Why It Matters: BPL faces venue change and multiple challenges, moving all remaining matches to Sylhet and Dhaka.
