Women's East Zone cricket team

The Women's East Zone cricket team is a women's first-class cricket team that represents East of Bangladesh – the Chittagong Division and Sylhet Division – in the Women's Bangladesh Cricket League (WBCL). It is a composite team of two Bangladeshi first-class women's teams from east Bangladesh: Chittagong Division cricket team and Sylhet Division cricket team.

History Following the success of Bangladesh in 2018 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup, plans were going on to establish a two-day red-ball match for women since August 2018. In April 2021, the International Cricket Council awarded permanent women's Test status to Bangladesh women's national cricket team. The lack of a domestic first-class cricket competition for women prevented Bangladesh to start playing Test matches. The 2022–23 edition is the first-ever women's multi-day competition in Bangladesh, launched by the Bangladesh Cricket Board in March 2023. In March 2023, the tournament was inaugurated by the chairman of BCB women's wing Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel, at Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna. The competition was introduced to prepare women cricketers for Test cricket and adapt themselves with the longer version of the game.

Then in 2024 BCB announced Women’s Bangladesh Cricket League will also have 4 teams like Men's Bangladesh Cricket League tournament. East Zone is one of the four teams along with North Zone, Central Zone and South Zone.
