The 2016–17 National Cricket League was the eighteenth edition of the National Cricket League, a first-class cricket competition that was held in Bangladesh. The tournament started on 25 September 2016 and concluded on 6 January 2017.[1] Khulna Division were the defending champions.[2]
Heavy rain affected the first three rounds of matches, with only two matches out of twelve ending in a result other than a draw.[3] The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced that all matches scheduled to take place on 14 October 2016 would be delayed until the weather improved.[3] However, there was no improvement in the weather and those matches and future fixtures were postponed due to the upcoming Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).[3] The tournament restarted on 20 December 2016 after the conclusion of the BPL.[3]
Khulna Division retained their title when they beat Dhaka Metropolis by 398 runs in their final match.[4] Dhaka Metropolis were relegated to Tier 2 for the next season, while Rangpur Division were promoted to Tier 1.[5]
Following the conclusion of this tournament, the 2016–17 Bangladesh Cricket League began.
