Khulna Division cricket team

The Khulna Division cricket team is a Bangladeshi first-class team representing the Khulna Division in south-west Bangladesh, 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, Khulna adopted the name Kings of Khulna and played in their official black and yellow colours. The equivalent team in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) has been the now-defunct Khulna Royal Bengals.

Khulna's main home ground is the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna city, which has a 15,000 capacity. They have won the NCL four times, most recently in 2015–16, and they won the 2002–03 National Cricket League One-Day.
