England’s boundary fielders are bracing for a challenging day in Dharamsala on Tuesday, after being warned about the condition of the outfield at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium by their former batter and current Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott. The grass on the sand-based outfield is patchy and uneven, and several players slipped or
Bangladesh have never won more than three matches in an ODI World Cup but a convincing win against Afghanistan in the opener means that they can dare to dream. And if they are looking for advice on how to go all the way, they have four players in the squad who have the experience of
Jonathan Trott, Afghanistan’s head coach, feels Mujeeb Ur Rahman was lucky to escape without a serious injury after his left knee went into the sandy Dharamsala outfield when he put in a dive during Afghanistan’s six-wicket defeat to Bangladesh on Saturday. The grass on the outfield was patchy and mossy, and several players on both
Bangladesh 158 for 4 (Shanto 59*, Mehidy 57, Omarzai 1-9) beat Afghanistan 156 (Gurbaz 47, Mehidy 3-25, Shakib 3-30) by six wickets After being sent in, Afghanistan got off to a solid start before Shakib changed the momentum with the wickets of Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah. Afghanistan could never recover from there, slipping from
It was no different for Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusinghe ahead of the team’s first World Cup game, against Afghanistan in Dharamsala. Hathurusinghe, though, deftly deflected most of these questions, saying it was his job to keep the pressure off his team. When asked whether Bangladesh would be better off without Tamim facing up to Fazalhaq
Big picture: Bangladesh, Afghanistan look to move on from pitfalls, drama Afghanistan have been hot on Bangladesh’s heels for the better part of the last decade. This year alone, they are locked at 2-2 after Afghanistan won the bilateral ODI series in Chattogram 2-1, but later Bangladesh beat them by a handsome margin in the
India 97 for 1 (Tilak 55*, Gaikwad 40*) beat Bangladesh (Ali 24*, Sai Kishore 3-12, Washington 2-15) by nine wickets India’s spin attack restricted Bangladesh to 96 before Tilak Varma blazed away to a 25-ball half-century, supported ably by skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, as they thumped Bangladesh by nine wickets to seal a berth in the
England 197 for 6 in 24.1 overs (Moeen 56, Mustafizur 2-23) beat Bangladesh 188 for 9 in 37 overs (Mehidy 74, Tanzid 45, Topley 3-23) by four wickets (DLS) England enjoyed a useful, if hyper-extended, workout under the Guwahati floodlights, as a three-hour rain delay and even a nearby earthquake couldn’t prevent the world champions
The commentators on the official broadcast of Bangladesh’s first warm-up game, against Sri Lanka in Guwahati on September 29, had said that Shakib had injured his foot while playing football during a training session prior to that game. He skipped that game, which Bangladesh won by seven wickets with Mehidy Hasan Miraz leading the side,
Bangladesh 264 for 3 (Tanzid 84, Mehidy 67*, Litton 61) beat Sri Lanka 263 (Nissanka 68, Dhananjaya 55, Mahedi 3-36) by seven wickets Half-centuries from Bangladesh’s top three of Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz took their side to a comfortable win over Sri Lanka in their first warm-up fixture ahead of the
Shakib Al Hasan has outlined his retirement plan, saying the 2025 Champions Trophy might be his final assignment as an international cricketer. He said he plans to quit T20Is after the 2024 T20 World Cup, and could retire from Tests after the upcoming ODI World Cup in India. “The 2025 Champions Trophy for ODIs and
Shakib Al Hasan, has launched a scathing attack on Tamim Iqbal ahead of the World Cup, calling him “childish” and criticising Tamim for putting himself ahead of the team’s needs. Tamim has been in and out of the Bangladesh side, battling a persistent back injury, which on Tuesday was cited as the reason for his
Tamim Iqbal has hit out at the BCB a day after he was dropped from Bangladesh’s World Cup squad, saying he would have been fit in time for the tournament and that the board had “intentionally” created a tough environment for him in the days leading up to the squad announcement. In a video posted
Bangladesh will go to the 2023 World Cup without arguably the best batter in the country’s history, as Tamim Iqbal has been left out of the 15-man squad, due to his persistent back injury. ESPNcricinfo had learnt that Tamim had informed the selectors couple of days ago that they should keep his back injury in
Toss Bangladesh chose to bat vs New Zealand Middle-order batter Zakir Hasan and top-order batter Dean Foxcroft were handed ODI debuts, and Bangladesh stand-in captain Najmul Hossain Shanto opted to bat against New Zealand in the third ODI. For Shanto, too, it was a landmark occasion with the game being his first as ODI captain.
Najmul Hossain Shanto‘s life has become a “then and now” meme. Every time he does something meaningful in 2023, it gets compared to last year when he was really struggling. His career has seen a complete reversal in fortunes this year, with the BCB now naming him the captain for the third ODI against New
But it was defending champions Comilla Victorians who made some big-name signings. They were conservative in the draft because they already had Rashid Khan, Sunil Narine and Iftikhar Ahmed among their 11 overseas signings before the draft took place. During the draft, they picked the West Indian duo Rahkeem Cornwall and Matthew Forde, apart from
Bangladesh have named Najmul Hossain Shanto as captain for the third ODI in Mirpur against New Zealand on Tuesday. The hosts have also changed the make-up of the side from the first two ODIs, for which they had rested a number of World Cup-bound players. Most of those players have returned for the third ODI,
Bangladesh’s batting crisis continued as they succumbed to a 86-run defeat against New Zealand in the second ODI in Dhaka. But the return of Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah will be encouraging, as both looked sharp although they couldn’t kick on after getting starts. Mahmudullah top-scored with 49 before hitting Cole McConchi’s long hop to short
India 52 for 2 (Rodrigues 20*, Shafali 17) beat Bangladesh 51 all out (Nigar 12, Vastrakar 4-17) by eight wickets Pooja Vastrakar could have well been watching the Asian Games back home on TV. She was only initially named as a non-travelling reserve in the squad, who was to fly back home after a week-long
“I don’t see anything wrong in it,” Tamim said after the match. “The rule is there. If we get someone out, or one of us gets out in that manner, I don’t think we should react the way people are reacting nowadays. “I think it is a team decision,” he said. “We will definitely talk
Bangladesh captain Litton Das recalled batter Ish Sodhi after fast bowler Hasan Mahmud had run out the New Zealand player when he left the crease early at the non-striker’s end. It was the first time that a Bangladesh cricketer attempted one of the most controversial modes of dismissal. Sodhi was on 17 off 27 balls
Former India left-arm spinner Sridharan Sriram has returned to the Bangladesh team as its technical consultant for the upcoming World Cup. Sriram will be joining the team in Guwahati on September 27, as Bangladesh begin their preparation for the two warm-up matches ahead of the tournament proper. The BCB’s cricket operations chairman Jalal Yunus said
Bangladesh quick Tanzim Hasan has had to apologise to the BCB for a number of offensive Facebook posts from the past, which resurfaced after his international debut at the Asia Cup last week. Some of the posts date back to 2014, and BCB cricket operations chair Jalal Yunus said Tanzim was repentant about his posts
Senior players Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah have been named in the 15-member Bangladesh squad for the first two of the three upcoming ODIs against New Zealand on September 21 and 23 in Dhaka. But Bangladesh will be without captain Shakib Al Hasan, who has been rested alongside Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan
The India-Bangladesh game in Colombo had all the tell-tale signs of a typical tour-ending affair for an eliminated team. Bangladesh are known for poor performances in the last games on tour. They made five changes in this inconsequential game. One was a forced change, but the rest seemed to be the team management testing their
Bangladesh 265 for 8 (Shakib 80, Hridoy 54, Thakur 3-65) beat India 259 all out (Gill 121, Axar 42, Mustafizur 3-50) by six runs The much-maligned Asia Cup has produced yet another thriller. For once, Bangladesh put one past India in a close finish, a canny defence of 265 despite a superlative Shubman Gill century.
Big picture: A chance to test bench strength India have already qualified for the final of Asia Cup 2023. Bangladesh are no longer in contention. And that means Friday’s match between these two sides is a dead rubber. However, with the ODI World Cup less than a month away, it’s a chance for both teams
Mushfiqur Rahim will miss Bangladesh’s Asia Cup Super Four match against India, scheduled for Friday in Colombo, after being “granted an extension of leave” by the BCB to be with his family. He had returned to Dhaka after Bangladesh’s last match, against Sri Lanka on September 9, to be with his wife for the birth
