BPL resumes as players return, schedule adjusted

The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) resumes on Friday (January 16) after players withdrew their boycott.

The schedule has been adjusted, moving all remaining games, including the first Eliminator, by one day.

According to a Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) release, the two matches originally scheduled for January 15 will now be played on Friday. Chattogram Royals will face Noakhali Express in the day’s opening game at 2:00pm, followed by Rajshahi Warriors taking on Sylhet Titans at 7:00pm.

Similarly, matches scheduled for January 16 and 17 have been pushed back by a day, taking place on January 17 and 18 respectively. The first Eliminator, originally set for January 19, will now be played on January 20.

The BCB confirmed that tickets purchased for January 16 remain valid, allowing spectators to attend the Chattogram–Noakhali and Rajshahi–Sylhet games. Fans who bought tickets for January 15 but could not attend will be eligible for refunds.
