The Walton Smart Fridge Dhaka Premier League (DPL) is set to resume in full swing following the Eid-ul-Azha break, with all 12 clubs returning to action in the next round of matches from Wednesday, June 2.

Adding extra excitement to the competition, several Bangladesh national team cricketers will feature in this round as they continue preparations for the upcoming ODI series against Australia. Their participation is expected to intensify the competition while attracting greater interest from cricket fans.

Before the Eid break, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto struck a century for Abahani Limited. Fast bowlers Nahid Rana and Taskin Ahmed are also set to return to action, representing Mohammedan Sporting Club in the upcoming fixtures.

The round will serve as an important preparation platform for national team players, allowing them to regain match rhythm, sharpen their batting and bowling skills, and adapt to competitive match situations after the Eid break. The selectors will also have an opportunity to closely monitor the performances of the players ahead of the Australia series.

Meanwhile, the clubs are eager to strengthen their positions in the league standings. With the title race heating up and teams battling to avoid relegation, the post-Eid phase of the competition promises even greater intensity.

After seven rounds, Mohammedan Sporting Club lead the points table with 12 points. Defending champions Abahani Limited are second with 10 points from seven matches. Legends of Rupganj also have 10 points but sit third due to a lower net run rate, while Prime Bank Cricket Club occupy fourth place with the same number of points.
