The first round of the 20th National Cricket League may have been dominated by the batsmen, but it was the bowlers who made headlines on the first day of the second round of the first-class completion being played across four venues yesterday.

Rangpur Division all-rounder Nasir Hossain strikes a double hundred after he continued his innings of 101 not out from yesterday.

Dhaka Metro have been demoted to Tier Two, while Nasir Hossain's Rangpur were promoted to Tier One at the end of the National Cricket League (NCL), one of the two four-day domestic competitions in Bangladesh, yesterday.

Mashrafe Mortaza says he will play Khulna Division in their next first-class match, against Rangpur in the National Cricket League.

The BCB's anti-corruption unit has cleared the 2014-15 National Cricket League match between Rangpur Division and Dhaka Metropolis of match-fixing allegations.

For Al-Amin Hossain and Sohag Gazi, being called up to the conditioning camp of 27 players is a huge relief.
