The 2020–21 Bangabandhu T20 Cup (Bengali: বঙ্গবন্ধু টি-২০ কাপ)[1] was a Twenty20 cricket competition that was held in Bangladesh.[2] It was played by five teams,[3] during November and December 2020.[4] In November 2020, more than 100 players began to undertake fitness tests, ahead of a players' draft for the tournament.[5] The players' draft took place on 12 November 2020,[6] with the tournament starting in the third week of November.[7][8] Two days later, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed the full schedule for the tournament.[9][10]
