The Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolitan (CCDM) yesterday announced the fixture of the prestigious Premier Division cricket league, scheduled for a December 7 start.

The league, involving twelve teams, will be played in three different venues and is expected to be completed on January 30. Unlike the previous years, matches will be 80-overs-a-side and played over two days.

Three matches will be played on the inaugural day. Holders Abahani Krira Chakra will take on Orient SC, one of the two promotees to the Premier league this year, at the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium.

Runners-up Brothers Union will meet the other promotees Sadharan Biman at the BKSP in Savar.

Kalabagan KC, who finished third last year, will face Victoria SC at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.

Mohammedan Sporting Club will begin their campaign against Agrani Bank at the Bangabandhu National Stadium on December 9. On the same day Bangladesh Biman, the most balanced side this season, will meet Wari Club at the BKSP. Mediocre-turned-aspirants, Surjo Tarun, led by its new captain Minhazul Abedin, will begin their chase for a maiden title triumph at the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium against Ajax SC.
