DPL starts on Nov 2

The country's lone 50 overs domestic cricket competition, the Dhaka Premier League, is set to be delayed by three more weeks as the Bangladesh Cricket Board has decided to send a team to Kolkata to take part in the Eden Gardens' 150 year celebrations.
The Dhaka Premier League is now expected to begin on November 2.
The competition, which was originally scheduled to begin on October 10, has already been facing delays due to a three-day match that national coach Chandika Hathurusingha wants to organise.
With the BCB confirming its participation in the Kolkata meet, the league has now been rescheduled for November. The tournament in Kolkata will take place from October 23 to 30.
"The tournament will see teams coming from Karnataka, Mumbai and the MCC and they have requested us to send a strong team. Since our main team will be busy with the Zimbabwe series, we thought it would be best to send our A team. That will mean that we will have to delay the start of our league," said BCB president Nazmul Hassan Papon yesterday.
