Tarique's epic homecoming derails BPL's grand Dhaka opener

Cricket's return to the field is locked in, but the glitzy launch party in Dhaka? It's teetering on cancellation! 

Insiders from the BPL Governing Council reveal that the blockbuster opening ceremony planned for December 24 at Mirpur's Sher-e-Bangla Stadium – packed with superstar performers, concerts, and massive crowds – is likely getting axed. 

The culprit? Overwhelming security concerns!

Just a day later, on December 25, BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman touches down in Bangladesh after nearly 18 years in exile. 

Party sources are buzzing: this historic return could draw the biggest crowd ever – estimates topping 2 million! Supporters from across the country will flood Dhaka and the airport, turning the capital into a sea of humanity.

With police, army, BGB, RAB, and Ansar forces fully deployed to safeguard this mega-event, law enforcement has told organisers they can't spare resources for the BPL bash on the 24th. 

A top BCB official spilled to reporters: "Securing an event with lakhs gathering from outside Dhaka? Impossible right now. We're seriously considering scrapping the December 24 opener."

The on-field action stays on track – BPL kicks off as scheduled on December 26 in sacred Sylhet soil. But Dhaka's dream of a star-studded curtain-raiser? Derailed by the storm of Tarique Rahman's thunderous comeback!

It's politics crashing into cricket's party – a classic clash where one man's triumphant return steals the spotlight from the nation's favorite sport.

Cricket fans, hold tight: the fireworks on the pitch will ignite, even if the pre-game extravaganza goes dark!
