Sylhet Division cricket team
The Sylhet Division cricket team is a Bangladeshi first-class team representing the Sylhet Division, one of the country's seven administrative regions. 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, Sylhet adopted the name Sultans of Sylhet and played in their official yellow and blue colours. The equivalent team in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is the Sylhet Super Stars.
Sylhet's main home ground is the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet city, which has a 13,500 capacity. They have never won the NCL title, and their sole honour is winning the inaugural One-Day League in 2001–02.
