The Bangladesh Cricket Board: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has postponed both Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) matches scheduled for Tuesday, following the death of Khaleda Zia, the country's former prime minister, earlier in the morning.

The decision was made shortly after the news of her passing and just a couple of hours before the toss for the first match of the day, between Sylhet Titans and Chattogram Royals at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.

“The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Begum Khaleda Zia, Chairperson of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and former Prime Minister of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh,” the BCB stated in an X post.
