The Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League (DPL) 2025-26 will resume on Tuesday after a nine-day Eid-ul-Adha break, with six matches scheduled and most national cricketers expected to return to action for their respective clubs.

League leaders Mohammedan Sporting Club will take on Legends of Rupganj in the marquee eighth-round fixture at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. Meanwhile, Abahani will face Gulshan Cricket Club at BKSP-4.

In the other matches, Gazi Group Cricketers will meet Dhaka Leopards at the Bashundhara Sports Complex, while Agrani Bank Cricket Club take on City Club at BKSP-3. Prime Bank Cricket Club will face Brothers Union at Purbergaon Krira Shikkha Prothisthan, and Bashundhara Strikers will square off against Rupganj Tigers Cricket Club at the Cricketers Academy.
