The 2024–25 National Cricket League, also known as Modhumoti Bank NCL for sponsorship reasons is the 26th edition of the National Cricket League, a first-class cricket competition in Bangladesh. Unlike previous seasons, there was no two-tier system – all eight teams played every other team.[1] Dhaka Division was the previous season's champion.[2] The tournament was scheduled to begin on October 14, 2024, but the Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) tournament committee ruled that rain had rendered several stadiums, including those in Bogra and Khulna, unsuitable for play. As a result, the first round began on October 19, and instead of concluding on November 28, the tournament ended with the final round which began on November 30.[3][4][5] Afterwards, the 2024–25 National Cricket League Twenty20 series was scheduled to run from December 11 to December 23.
