Shakib Al Hasan is expected to skip the ODIs against West Indies next month, according to BCB president Nazmul Hassan who made the announcement after a board meeting held in Dhaka on Wedesnday. Shakib was initially named in all three squads, but now it seems he will leave the tour after the T20s. Shakib led

West Indies 408 (Mayers 146, Brathwaite 51, Khaled 5-106) and 13 for 0 beat Bangladesh 234 (Litton 53, Joseph 3-50, Seales 3-53) and 186 (Nurul 60*, Seales 3-21, Roach 3-54, Joseph 3-57) by 10 wickets West Indies beat Bangladesh by 10 wickets in the second Test and took a one-sided series 2-0 at Daren Sammy

Captain Shakib Al Hasan has said that Bangladesh didn’t show enough character against West Indies in the St Lucia Test. West Indies completed a ten-wicket trouncing of the visitors on the rain-interrupted fourth day. Bangladesh, six-down overnight, lasted just over an hour on the day, getting bowled out for 186 to leave the home side

Bangladesh 234 and 132 for 6 (Roach 3-32) trail West Indies 408 (Mayers 146, Brathwaite 51, Khaled 5-106) by 42 runs Kemar Roach reached the landmark of 250 Test wickets as West Indies dominated the third day of the second test with Bangladesh fighting to avoid an innings defeat. Bangladesh was reduced to 132 for

The disappointment wasn’t amiss in coach Russell Domingo‘s voice after the end of the second day’s play. West Indies led by 106 runs after going up to 340 at stumps, but it was a far cry from being reduced to 132 for four shortly before lunch as the visitors were buoyant after inflicting a sudden

It was another case of one step forward, two steps back for Bangladesh. They were bowled out for 234 in the first innings in St Lucia, a vast improvement from the same position in Antigua a week ago, but still not enough to put a dent in West Indies’ confidence. The home side raced to

Bowling allrounder Mohammad Saifuddin has been ruled out of the white-ball leg of Bangladesh’s tour of the West Indies. Saifuddin was deemed not fit enough to bowl after recovering from a back injury. It is the second pullout due to back injuries in as many days after Yasir Ali was also ruled out from the

Big picture West Indies have the chance to jump over Pakistan in the ICC World Test Championship points table when they take on Bangladesh in the second Test, in St Lucia on Friday. The home side are currently in sixth place with 42 points, two behind Pakistan. More enticing than the Test series win for

Local channel T-Sports has bagged the broadcasting rights for the remainder of Bangladesh’s tour of West Indies, starting with the St Lucia Test from June 24. The channel’s chief executive Ishtiaque Sadeque confirmed the good news for the fans in Bangladesh. Later, the ICC also confirmed to the BCB that they will show the rest

“It is tough for me to say, but I speak to him [Mominul] regularly and we will talk again,” Shakib said. “If he thinks he needs a break, it can happen. It is not ideal to take a decision just after a match. We have a break for two days. On our next day of

A seventh defeat in 10 Tests has left Bangladesh scrambling for answers. The primary issue is their batting. They are not putting up big enough totals and the reason for that, according to the coach Russell Domingo, is lack of confidence. They lost six wickets by lunch on the first morning of the Antigua Test,

West Indies 265 (Brathwaite 94, Blackwood 63, Mehidy 4-65) and 88 for 3 (Campbell 58*, Blackwood 26*, Khaled 3-27) beat Bangladesh 103 and 245 (Nurul 64, Roach 5-53, Joseph 3-55) by seven wickets John Campbell smashed the winning six as West Indies needed only seven more overs to beat Bangladesh by seven wickets in the

Stumps West Indies 265 (Brathwaite 94, Blackwood 63, Mehidy 4-65) and 49 for 3 (Campbell 28*, Blackwood 17*, Khaled 3-14) need another 35 runs to beat Bangladesh 103 and 245 (Nurul 64, Roach 5-53, Joseph 3-55) Bangladesh went from looking like losing by an innings to beating West Indies on a compelling day three of

Bangladesh 103 and 50 for 2 (Mahmudul 18*, Joseph 2-14) trail West Indies 265 (Brathwaite 94, Blackwood 63, Mehidy 4-59) by 112 runs Captain Kraigg Brathwaite scored 94 as West Indies pressed their advantage on day two of the first Test. West Indies were dismissed for 265 after tea at barely two runs an over

West Indies 95 for 2 (Brathwaite 42*) trail Bangladesh 103 (Shakib 51, Seales 3-33, Joseph 3-33) by eight runs Bangladesh gained another share of an unwanted record on Thursday when six players were out for ducks in their paltry first innings of 103 on the first day of the first Test against the West Indies.

For the first time since 2001, a Test match involving Bangladesh will not be broadcast on TV in Bangladesh as negotiations between the rights-holders and Bangladesh’s TV networks failed to materialise for the rights to the Test series in West Indies. The Antigua Test, which begins on June 16, will only be available on the

Big picture Four years ago, Bangladesh’s last visit to Antigua wasn’t a pleasant experience. On the first day of their 2018 tour, West Indies routed them out for 43, their lowest Test total. The visitors went belly-up for the rest of that Test series, which lasted a total of six days. While humiliation was the

A back injury has ruled Yasir Ali out of Bangladesh’s two-Test series in the Caribbean, which begins later this week in North Sound. The 26-year-old batter is suffering from discogenic back pain on the lumber spine, according to the team’s physio Bayjedul Islam. “Recovery from such injuries take about two to three weeks’ time. Therefore,

“What I have discussed – or, what we have discussed – and learnt is that he [Shakib] is available to play,” BCB president Nazmul Hassan said on Thursday. “After the series against West Indies, we have a series against Zimbabwe. Shakib is uncertain for that series, and it’s unclear how long Shakib will remain the

Wasim Jaffer is in line to join the BCB’s game-development wing, where he is likely to work with both the Bangladesh Under-19 boys as well as at the board’s high-performance centre. Jaffer had a previous stint with Bangladesh as a batting consultant at the BCB’s academy in Mirpur, for a few months in 2019. During

Incidentally, Shakib’s future in Test cricket has been a topic of discussion in recent months, with the allrounder going back-and-forth on his commitment to red-ball cricket. In February, Shakib had reportedly asked the BCB for some time off from Test cricket, but was nonetheless selected in the squad for the tour of South Africa. Shakib,

Sri Lanka 29 for no loss (Oshada 21*, Karunaratne 7*) and 506 beat Bangladesh 169 (Shakib 58, Asitha 6-51) and 365 by 10 wickets Asitha Fernando‘s searing post-lunch spell burst through Bangladesh’s defiant middle order, then swiftly uprooted the tail, to thrust Sri Lanka toward victory, which they achieved by 10 wickets in Mirpur.

Bangladesh 365 (Mushfiqur 175*, Litton 141, Rajitha 5-64, Asitha 4-93) and 34 for 4 (Mushfiqur 14*, Litton 1*, Asitha 2-12) trail Sri Lanka 459 for 5 (Mathews 123*, Chandimal 120*, Shakib 3-83, Ebadot 2-114) by 107 runs Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal, Sri Lanka’s two most senior batters, forged a 199-run stand to put the

Knowing his responsibility, understanding the pattern of the game, avoiding looking at hard numbers and changing his training method are some of the things that have helped Litton Das become a more consistent Test batter. Litton’s 141 in the first innings against Sri Lanka in Dhaka is his third Test hundred in the last six

Lunch Bangladesh 361 for 9 (Mushfiqur 171*, Rajitha 5-62, Fernando 4-93) vs Sri Lanka When Fernando took the ninth wicket in the minute before lunch was scheduled, the umpires decided to extend the session by half an hour, to give Sri Lanka the chance to wrap the innings up. Thanks to Mushfiqur, who progressed to

Two wickets for 416 runs in 157 overs. These are the damming numbers of Sri Lanka’s spinners in the tour of Bangladesh so far. And Chris Silverwood, their new head coach, didn’t mince words at what he thinks of their show so far. On Monday, Sri Lanka had Bangladesh on the mat at 24 for

Toss Bangladesh opt to bat vs Sri Lanka Bangladesh have won the toss and chosen to bat first in Dhaka, as both sides made two changes apiece to the XIs that started the first Test in Chattogram. The hosts have brought in Mosaddek Hossain for the injured Nayeem Hasan, who took six wickets in the

Anamul Haque has earned a recall into the Bangladesh white-ball squads following his record-breaking run in the recently-concluded Dhaka Premier League List A competition, while Mustafizur Rahman has been named in all three squads for the upcoming tour of the West Indies. Bangladesh will play two Tests, three ODIs and three T20Is on their tour

Big picture On a flat Chattogram surface, neither Bangladesh nor Sri Lanka had the kind of superlative attack that would have swung the game decisively. The result being the first Test ending in a draw with not even three innings completed after five days. Although Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have both had their bowling stocks
