The ICC World T20 proper will start in a week's time, but for the Asia Cup T20 runners-up Bangladesh it will commence from today.

Dhaka's Harzat Shahjalal International Airport is not the kind of airport that travelling passengers would like to remember for all the good reasons. And for a

The Kangra airport in Himachal Pradesh of India is not one of those airports where you can find frantic activities.

A chartered flight is usually reserved for heads of states or billionaires. The Tigers may not have elevated themselves to that status but on Wednesday night they forced their employer to make an arrangement for one such flight from Dhaka to Dharamsala after an extraordinary five-wicket win against Pakistan.

Wherever India and Pakistan meet on a cricketing plane, it is considered as the mother of all battles. And it was no exception when the

As planet earth is about to complete a full circle on its orbit round the sun, ask a cricketer, a cricket official or a

Kazi Salahuddin made headlines immediately after being elected as the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) president for a second term in 2012. He famously talked about his 'Vision 2022' that understandably referred to Bangladesh football team's ambition of making it into the World Cup in Qatar. But on Saturday night, the charismatic striker of 70s and 80s, probably tried to hide his blushed face after being mocked in the cruelest way possible by a team

Like many yours truly was really disappointed when both Dhaka Dynamites and Barisal Bulls decided against fielding their two top draws -- Mustafizur Rahman and Chris Gayle -- in their inconsequential final group league clash of the Bangladesh Premier League on Thursday night.

So the fear of the millions of Bangladesh cricket fans turned real on Thursday when Cricket Australia postponed the Aussies' two-Test series against the Tigers citing security concerns.

Cricket Australia's decision on Friday to defer the scheduled tour of the Aussies to Bangladesh due to security concerns came as a bolt

So it's a 5-0 defeat for Bangladesh against a rampant Australia in their joint World Cup-Asian Cup qualifiers on Thursday. Looking at the scoreline it was not as bad as feared at the Nib Stadium in Perth in front of a capacity Socceroos fans. Bangladesh went into the break with 4-0 arrears that even five times World champions Brazil can envy especially after what had happened at the Estadio Mineirao against Germany last year.

Who says our country's football is not followed as passionately as cricket? A full house at the Sylhet District Stadium and millions who tuned in to BTV on Thursday afternoon enjoyed quality football from the Bangladesh colts, who beat their Indian counterparts by the odd goal in three in an enterprising group league match of the SAFF U-16 Championship.

If the South Africans had felt that it was a Bloody Sunday after their cricket teams' thrashing seven-wicket defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in the second

It was not a full house at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium yesterday. But the half-packed audience at Bangladesh's home of cricket in Mirpur witnessed a turnaround that only suits a team affectionately called Tigers. With their back against the wall after three demoralising defeats including the first one-dayer that put their Champions Trophy berth in the balance, the Tigers needed something to answer back at their critics in the second one-day international. And they did it with some style, hammering South Africa for seven-wicket defeat.

Bangladesh's defeats in the two T20 Interna-tionals against South Africa or to some extent in the third one-dayer in the preceding series against India grossly summed up the batting failure of the Tigers.

The professional set-up of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is equipped enough to run the most affluent sport body of the country smoothly, even if the

An avid follower of Bangladesh cricket said that she had never been as tense as she was during the Tigers' chase towards a modest Indian total of 200 in the rain-hit second

India avoided the embarrassment of 'Banglawash' when they recorded a face-saving 77-run win against Bangladesh in the third and final one-day international in Mirpur yesterday.

Brian Vitori of Zimbabwe set a unique record in 2011. In his very first two one-day internationals, the left-armer took two five-wicket hauls.
