The 2000–01 Bangladeshi cricket season marked the beginning of first-class domestic competition in Bangladesh, although the country had already staged first-class matches against touring teams in the previous year. The Green Delta National Cricket League was constituted as the first-class championship.
India's national team visited Bangladesh in 2000–01 to take part in the inaugural Test match played by the Bangladesh national cricket team. The tour consisted of a one off test match.
See main article: Bangladeshi cricket team in Zimbabwe in 2000–01. The Bangladesh national team also toured Zimbabwe and played 2 Test matches and 3 One Day Internationals in April 2001. Bangladesh lost all 5 matches.
The National Cricket League champions were Biman Bangladesh Airlines. The most first-class runs were scored by Imran Farhat (Biman) with 735 and the most wickets taken being 57 by Enamul Haque (Chittagong).
Although separate first-class and limited overs matches were contested by domestic teams in the 2000-01 season, results from both formats were combined to form a common points table. In the first round teams were placed in two groups of four. Each team played a 3-day first-class match and a 50 overs limited overs match against the other teams in its group, home and away. The top two teams from each group progressed to the final round where teams played a 4-day first-class and a 50 overs limited match against the qualifiers from the other group, home and away.[1]
