Published July 17, 2008

DHAKA, July 16: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is planning to introduce 90-over matches instead of the traditional 50 overs for the Dhaka Premier League.“The new version will also help players to develop their skill to stay for a longer time on the crease,” said BCB official Ghulam Mohammed Alamgir. “It will be a two-day affair instead of one day.”
