The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has moved forward with its domestic restructuring by launching the ‘Domestic 3’ (D3) franchise competition for the 2026-27 season. This new model integrates first-class, List A, and T20 formats under a single franchise framework.

Six companies—Walton, Acme Laboratories, ACE Blue Star, Citizens Bank, Seven Rings Cement, and Fortune Group—have secured franchises through three-year agreements, with each owner reportedly paying approximately BDT 2.5 crore per season. To build brand identity, the BCB has assigned icon players to specific franchises, including Mehidy Hasan Miraz for Walton, Towhid Hridoy for Fortune Group, and Mushfiqur Rahim for Seven Rings Cement.

The board is scheduled to hold a team management draft this week, followed by a players' draft next month to finalize 23-player rosters for each team. During the inauguration of the Third Division Qualifying Cricket League, Mehidy Hasan Miraz voiced support for the inclusion of qualifying competitions, noting they provide essential platforms for regional talent to reach national selectors.
