The 2021 Bangladeshi cricket season is taking place from 20 January to 31 December 2021.[1][2] A total of 29 international matches, including 4 Test, 9 One Day International and 16 Twenty20 International matches are scheduled to take place in Bangladesh in 2021.[3][4] 72 first-class, 5 List A and 54 Twenty20 matches are also being held in this season. All the international matches will form part of the 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship, 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship and the preparation for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[5][6]

Two international sides– West Indies and Sri Lanka toured Bangladesh, while four international sides– Australia, England, New Zealand and Pakistan are yet to come to Bangladesh in 2021. One second-tier international team– Ireland Wolves also toured Bangladesh in this season. Among the domestic tournaments, three first-class and one Twenty20 tournaments– 2020–21 National Cricket League, 2021 Dhaka Premier Division Twenty20 Cricket League, 2021–22 National Cricket League and 2021–22 Bangladesh Cricket League are scheduled to take place in 2021.

As of June 2021, Bangladesh has been most successful in ODIs in the 2021 season, having won 5 of its 6 matches. The team also played 2 Test matches in this season, having lost all of them. The West Indies won the most number of Test matches than any other team, winning 2 of its 2 matches.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continued into the 2021 Bangladeshi international calendar. In December 2020, one Test and three T20I matches of Bangladesh's home series against West Indies were dropped from the tour itinerary as per request made by Cricket West Indies to prevent any sort of health risks.[7][8] During the Ireland Wolves' tour of Bangladesh in March 2021, the first unofficial ODI match was abandoned after 30 overs, after Ruhan Pretorius tested positive for COVID-19.[9] However, Pretorius' test was later found to be a false positive, with him returning to the squad for the second match.[10] The original tour schedule included two Twenty20 matches, but one was dropped from the itinerary on 13 March 2021.[11] On 1 April 2021, the remaining matches in of the 22nd NCL were postponed due to the rising COVID-19 cases in the country.[12] Originally, the 2021 DPL was scheduled to start on 6 May 2021.[13] However, in April 2021, the tournament was postponed until 31 May 2021,[14] due to the nationwide COVID-19 lockdown.[15]

Broadcasting rights[]

In January 2021, the BCB sold its media rights to Ban Tech, a marketing agency of Bangladesh for ৳17.9 crore (US$2.2 million), for the home series against the West Indies.[93] As the broadcast partners of Ban-Tech, T Sports and Nagorik TV also acquired the rights for broadcasting the matches live on television.[94] BCB chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury said, "Ban-Tech won the rights for being the highest bidder, they have got their own channel or else they can show it through other channels."[95]

On 7 May 2021, T Sports also acquired the telecasting rights for all Indian international cricket matches live in Bangladesh.[96][97] On 17 May 2021, the BCB sold its media rights to Ban Tech for the next three years, for $19.07 million, ahead of their home series against Sri Lanka.[98][99] Under the agreement with Ban Tech, T Sports and Gazi TV bought and obtained the rights for broadcasting the matches of the series on television.[100][101]

Sponsorship rights[]

In January 2021, the BCB announced that the BEXIMCO, the country's leading corporate house, would be the sponsor of the Bangladesh cricket team for their home series against West Indies.[102] The BCB's CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury said, "Beximco is one of the most prominent brands in the country and is also renowned globally." He added, "It has a proud and long tradition of partnering and supporting the BCB and Bangladesh cricket. We are very pleased to declare Beximco as the national team sponsor."[103]

However, in April 2021, Daraz, an e-commerce platform, was named as the new sponsor of the Bangladesh national men's, women's, U-19 and the A cricket team. Daraz were awarded the rights by the BCB until 2023, under which its logo will appear on the kits of the teams.[104][105] Syed Mostahidal Hoq, Daraz's managing director expressed his delight saying, "This is an auspicious moment for us because it always gives you immense pleasure to be able to do something for the country. By sponsoring our national cricket team we feel that we have become a part of the passion and glory associated with the game in Bangladesh and we look forward to celebrating many achievements in the years to come."[106]

Controversies[]

In May 2021, Tamim used inappropriate language during the third ODI against Sri Lanka after an unsuccessful review of his caught-behind dismissal.[107] As a result, he was fined 15% of his total match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Cricket Code of Conduct, although later, Tamim admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by ICC match referee Niamur Rashid.[108][109]

In June 2021, during the 40th group match between Abahani Limited and Mohammedan Sporting Club of the 2021 Dhaka Premier League, Shakib kicked and broke the stumps after umpire Imran Parvez turned down a LBW appeal. He was bowling against Mushfiqur Rahim in the fifth over of the innings and kicked the stumps as soon as the umpire refused to concede to his appeal.[110] In the same match, he also himself uprooted the stumps when the umpire halted the match due to rain in the following over.[111][112] However, Shakib later made a public apology statement through his official Facebook page calling his behaviour as a "human error".[113][114] Following the incident, Shakib was suspended for three matches of the tournament and was fined ৳5 lakh (US$5,900) by the BCB.[115] The BCB also announced that a panel would be set up to investigate claims of biased umpiring in domestic cricket.[116][117]

On 16 June 2021, Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club lodged a complaint against Rahman, who was playing for Legends of Rupganj, for allegedly racially abusing and throwing stones at Elias Sunny, who was playing for Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi.[118] The alleged incident took place during a T20 match between Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi and Old DOHS Sports Club during the Dhaka Premier Division T20 League at the Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protisthan (BKSP) ground no. 3 in Dhaka. Rahman, who had a game against Partex Sporting Club at the BKSP 4 ground later in the day, abused and threw stones at Sunny, who was fielding at the time, while Rahman was standing outside the boundary. This incident caused the game to be paused for a few minutes. Sunny has alleged that this is not an isolated incident and that this is a continuation of a previous incident where Rahman had racially abused Sunny while the two were playing against each other in a previous match. The Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM) is investigating this incident.[119] Following the investigation, Rahman, along with Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi manager Sultan Mahmud, was fined 50,000 taka (US$590).[120]
