The temperature in Sylhet went down drastically in the last 48 hours forcing most of the franchises to cancel training sessions on Wednesday in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League.

Fortune Barishal, Sylhet Strikers and Rangpur Riders opted to stay warm in their respective hotels, choosing to rest as the Sylhet phase came to its first break, after temperatures dropped by 6-7 Degree Celcius and flirted around 15. Dhaka Capitals, who are yet to win a match, had an optional practice session in which a few members of the squad, including an out-of-form Liton Das, were in attendance.

Durbar Rajshahi, Khulna Tigers and Chittagong Kings did make their way to the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium for scheduled practice sessions but decided to keep it limited to only drills and net sessions due to the chilly weather.

Rajshahi's in-form pacer Taskin Ahmed brought his eldest son Tashfeen Ahmed to the ground and the father-son duo was seen spending some quality time with bat and ball on the field.

Meanwhile, journalists covering the tournament were more keen the outcome of the meeting between the national selectors and former Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal at a hotel in Sylhet. They waited for hours in the hotel lobby and eventually was met by chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu who informed that Tamim's return would depend on him.

The BPL resumes today with another double-header. In the day's opening contest, league-leaders Rangpur will take on second-placed Barishal in a reverse fixture. In the first meeting, unbeaten Rangpur, who are unbeaten and have a five-match winning streak, thrashed Barishal by eight wickets in Dhaka. The second fixture of the day will see Dhaka square off against Chittagong to end their four-match losing streak.
