The 13th version of the four-day National Cricket League 2011-12, the
country's lone first class cricket tournament, begins today (Monday) at
different venues with four matches taking place in the opening round,

Eight teams are taking part for the first time in this year's longer version National Cricket League with the fresh inclusion of Rangpur Division and Dhaka Metropolis alongside the six divisional teams --Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal and Sylhet.
