‘I have no complaints, nor am I disappointed in myself’
Jaker Ali Anik came to the fore when he smashed three consecutive hundreds in the 2022-23 Bangladesh Cricket League, ending up as the leading run-getter of the tournament. The 25-year-old is one of the handful of local cricketers who have been able to show glimpses in the ongoing and the previous Bangladesh Premier League season for Comilla Victorians. Anik, whose exclusion from the Bangladesh T20 squad for the upcoming Sri Lanka series led to Comilla head coach Mohammad Salahuddin criticising the selection process, spoke about how playing for Bangladesh 'A' team and High-Performance team had helped his game and the way Pakistan’s star wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan had an influence on him along with a few other topics during an interview with Mazhar Uddin of The Daily Star.

Mehedi laments lack of concentration
"It's not like the pitch is unplayable; none of the deliveries kept extremely low but there is turn. However it's still not very difficult for the batsmen and if they can play normal cricket they will get success," Mehedi Hasan Miraz, the only Bangladesh batsman to show some form of resistance by remaining unbeaten on 38 during Bangladesh's disastrous first-innings total of 110, told reporters after the second day's play at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur yesterday.

SL in control after Day 3
Just nine runs behind the Tigers' first-innings total on 504 for three with two set batsmen in Roshen Silva and skipper Dinesh Chandimal at the crease after the third day, Sri Lanka are in prime position to take control of the first Test and stretch their lead today at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong.
