Cricket tournament
The 2020–21 Bangabandhu T20 Cup (Bengali : বঙ্গবন্ধু টি-২০ কাপ )[1] was a Twenty20 cricket competition that was held in Bangladesh.[2] It was played by five teams,[3] during November and December 2020.[4] In November 2020, more than 100 players began to undertake fitness tests, ahead of a players' draft for the tournament.[5] The players' draft took place on 12 November 2020,[6] with the tournament starting in the third week of November.[7] [8] Two days later, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed the full schedule for the tournament.[9] [10]
The BCB originally announced that the tournament would be used for the criteria to select players for the Twenty20 International (T20I) matches against the West Indies , scheduled to be played in early 2021.[11] However, in December 2020, the two cricket boards agreed the itinerary for the tour, with the T20I matches being dropped.[12] [13]
Gemcon Khulna won the tournament, beating Gazi Group Chattogram by five runs in the final.[14]
