The 2013–14 Victory Day T20 Cup was a Twenty20 cricket competition that was held in Bangladesh. It was played by four teams, during December 2013. Four Dhaka Premier League teams took part in a lottery to determine who picked one each of the Yellow, Blue, Green and Red teams. Announcing the schedule of the tournament at a press conference on 21 December, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed that four teams would participate in the T20 series and AMBER Group would be the title sponsors of the event.

Nasir Hossain was given a leave from the tournament to attend his brother's wedding. Abdur Razzak also missed out due to personal commitment while Shamsur Rahman did not recover sufficiently from an ankle injury. They were replaced by Sharifullah and Naeem Islam jnr.{{Cite news |last=|date=|title=Nasir Hossain to miss Victory Day T20 Cup|url=https://www.banglanews24.com/english/sports/news/bd/12900.details|url-status=live|access-date=2021-04-21|website=BanglaNews24|language=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210421095934/https://www.banglanews24.com/english/sports/news/bd/12900.details |archive-date=21 April 2021 }}

Background

BCB originally organised the tournament as the preparation and the criteria for selecting players for the 2014 ICC World Twenty20, scheduled to be played in early 2014. The league was competed as an alternative to the 2014 season of Bangladesh Premier League, which was not able to be held following the match fixing scandal. BCB's President Nazmul Hassan Papon said, "We have World Twenty20 ahead, for which the cricketers need to practise. We needed an alternative tournament since we are not able to hold BPL. This is why we took the challenge and arranged the tournament on short notice and we have achieved it,"{{Cite news |date=2013-12-20|title=Victory Day Twenty20 tournament confirmed|url=https://www.dhakatribune.com/uncategorized/2013/12/20/victory-day-twenty20-tournament-confirmed|access-date=2021-04-24|work=Dhaka Tribune}}

The four contested teams were earlier named Red, Green, Yellow and Blue, which had been sold to four different parties. A lottery was held to determine the owners of the team in which Mohammedan Sporting Club got Mashrafe Mortaza's side, Mushfiqur Rahim's team went to Abahani Limited and Prime Bank Cricket Club got the team led by Shakib Al Hasan.{{Cite web|title=Shakib, Tamim set for comeback in Victory Day T20 Cup|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/shakib-tamim-set-for-comeback-702085|url-status=live|access-date=20 April 2021|website=ESPN Cricinfo|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210420110819/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/shakib-tamim-set-for-comeback-702085 |archive-date=20 April 2021 }} In the absence of a fourth interested party, the BCB itself took up the role and took the Tamim Iqbal's team. Soon after however, the BCB received confirmation of United Commercial Bank's interest in taking over the fourth team.

Each of the four teams has three Grade A players, while the remaining members of the squad are of Grade B. The Grade A players will receive 250,000 taka as the tournament fee, while the fees for Grade B has been fixed at 150,000 taka.{{Cite web|title=BCB fixed Victory Day Cup rules, sponsors, teams and fixtures|url=https://www.bdcrictime.com/amber-victory-day-t20-cup-fixtures/|url-status=live|access-date=20 April 2021|website=BD Crictime|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210420110831/https://www.bdcrictime.com/amber-victory-day-t20-cup-fixtures/ |archive-date=20 April 2021 }}
