The Sylhet Division cricket team is a Bangladeshi first-class team representing the Sylhet Division, one of the country's eight 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 Strikers.
