The Dhaka Premier League (DPL) entered a week-long break for the Eid holidays after the conclusion of the ninth round matches yesterday and with just two rounds to go in the league phase, a lack of competitiveness has been the overarching trait of this year’s DPL so far.

Bangladesh had a new man in for the toss -- stand-in skipper Mosaddek Hossain for the injured Nurul Hasan Sohan, but their toss fortune did not change as they lost the toss and sent in to field for the third time in the series during the third T20I against Zimbabwe on Tuesday.

There are whispers in the cricketing arena that Mushfiqur Rahim is not happy about the fact that he was rested for the T20I series team on the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe, but the move came as the Bangladesh think-tank aim to empower youngsters, expecting them to come out of the shadows and instill their own identity in the shortest format of the game.
