The 2022 National Cricket League was the twenty-fourth edition of the National Cricket League (NCL), a first-class cricket competition held in Bangladesh.[1] The eight teams taking part were placed into two tiers, with Chittagong Division getting promoted to Tier 1 after their victory in Tier 2 of the 2021–22 season, replacing Khulna Division who were relegated.[2][3] The tournament started on 10 October 2022,[4] and concluded on 17 November 2022 with Rangpur Division as champions, their second NCL title.[5] This edition of the tournament was the first to use the Dukes cricket ball, rather than the SG ball used in previous editions.[6]
