“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.

Veteran pacer Kemar Roach‘s enduring quality and consistency put the West Indies within 35 runs of victory over Bangladesh going into the fourth day of the first Test.

Big picture If we needed an advertisement for a five-match bilateral T20I series, and one on the back of a 74-match IPL, this is it. Locked at 2-2, this series has had South Africa’s highest successful chase, and their lowest T20I total; India’s biggest win over South Africa, career-bests for six players, a comeback for
