Barisal Division cricket team
The Barisal Division cricket team is a Bangladeshi first-class team representing the Barisal Division, one of the seven administrative regions in Bangladesh. The team competes in the National Cricket League and was formerly a participant in the now-defunct National Cricket League One-Day. In the short-lived National Cricket League Twenty20 competition, played in the 2009–10 season only, Barisal adopted the name Barisal Blazers and played in their official green and black colours. The equivalent team in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is the Barisal Bulls.
Barisal's home ground is the Barisal Divisional Stadium, also known as the Abdur Rab Serniabad Stadium, which has a 15,000 capacity. They have only won one competition in their history, the 2008–09 National Cricket League One-Day.
