Prime Bank Cricket Club, owned by Prime Bank Limited, plays List A cricket in the Dhaka Premier Division in Bangladesh. It won the tournament in 2014–15.[1] The club also participated in the 2013–14 Victory Day T20 Cup and was crowned the champions.[2][3]

History

[edit]

Prime Bank Limited established its cricket club and associated cricket academy in 2012, when it bought the ownership rights of the Old DOHS Sports Club cricket team.[4] When the Dhaka Premier Division resumed in 2013-14 after a one-season hiatus, with List A status for the first time, Prime Bank Cricket Club was one of the 12 competing teams.[5]

In 2014-15 Old DOHS returned to the Dhaka Premier Division as a separate team. Prime Bank won the first encounter between the two teams by 41 runs,[6] and went on to win the championship.
