First-class kit

The Women's Central Zone cricket team is a women's first-class cricket team that represents Central of Bangladesh – the Dhaka Division and Mymensingh Division – in the Women's Bangladesh Cricket League (WBCL).[1][2] It is a composite team of two Bangladeshi first-class women's cricket teams from south Bangladesh: Dhaka Division cricket team and Mymensingh Division cricket team.[3]

History

Following the success of Bangladesh in 2018 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup, plans were going on to establish a two-day red-ball match for women since August 2018.[4] In April 2021, the International Cricket Council awarded permanent women's Test status to Bangladesh women's national cricket team.[5] The lack of a domestic first-class cricket competition for women prevented Bangladesh to start playing Test matches.[6] The 2022–23 edition was the first-ever women's multi-day competition in Bangladesh, launched by the Bangladesh Cricket Board in March 2023.[7] In March 2023, the tournament was inaugurated by BCB women's wing chairman Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel, at Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna.[8] The competition was introduced to prepare women cricketers for Test cricket and adapt to the longer version of the game.[9]

In 2024 BCB announced that Women’s Bangladesh Cricket League will also have 4 teams like Men's Bangladesh Cricket League tournament. Central Zone is one of the four teams along with North Zone, South Zone and East Zone.
