Dhaka Leopards competed for the first time in the 2022–23 Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League. Captained by Junaid Siddique, they played their first match against the previous season's premiers, Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club, on 15 March 2023, losing by eight wickets.[2] They did not achieve their first victory until the ninth round, when they beat Shinepukur Cricket Club by 76 runs, Raihan Uddin taking 6 for 30, the first time any of their bowlers had taken more than three wickets in an innings.[3] In their next match two days later, which they lost by one run to Legends of Rupganj, Umar Amin scored their first century, scoring 128 not out.[4] They won only one of their 13 matches and finished at the bottom of the league table, and were thus relegated for the 2023–24 season.[5][6]
