Kazi Inam said, “Two years ago, we talked about starting this T20 League with players from the DPL. Keeping that in mind, we have organised a T20 tournament, prior to the start of the DPL. We will try to hold it every year.”
Kazi Inam said this following the players’ draft of the DPL where CCDM vice president Masud, member secretary Ali Hossain and in-charge Towhid Mahmud were present among others.
