We all know that one of the main obstacles of our cricket development is the lack of quality First Class Tournament. One of the reasons may be the teams do not have a passionate fan base (like Mohammedan or Abahani). Actually our people usually do not identify themselves with the divisions, but they do have a sense of belongingness towards the greater district of their roots. For example the people of Brahmanbaria have passion for greater Comilla, but not for Chittagong.
Totally we have 17 greater districts (considering Tangail inside Mymensing and Patuakhali inside Barisal). Like county cricket we can have 17 teams in two divisions (with promotion and demotion). If 17 teams are too many, we can go for a compromise. In addition to the current 7 teams (Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Barisal, Rajshahi, and Rangpur) we can have three more: Greater Comilla (Which will include greater Noakhali), Greater Mymenshingh (including Tangail) and Greater Jessore (including Khustia). So we will have 10 teams for now, but with the improvement of infrastructure we will increase it to 17.
