From a young girl living in a fourth-class government employee quarters with her family, dreaming of playing international cricket, to becoming the national team's most reliable spinner, Nahida Akter's cricketing journey so far has been nothing short of inspirational.

New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra did not exactly hit the ground running on his international breakout but went on to become one of the standout performers in his debut World Cup, setting records in his own way. The 24-year-old had a quiet tour of Bangladesh, not getting a game in the Test series but he has been keeping a keen eye on things. As he spoke with Abdullah Al Mehdi of The Daily Star after the recently concluded second Test, he discussed the Kiwi side's atmosphere, a terrific maiden World Cup, the Mirpur wicket, and more.

“My plan is to give all my time to the national team. Maybe, I will sacrifice all the franchise tournaments that I used to play,” said Shakib.

The ICC released the schedule for the 16-team event on Monday, with five venues across South Africa to host a total of 41 matches over more than three weeks in January and February in the 15th edition of the Under 19 showcase.

Twenty-year-old spinner Shoaib Bashir was on Monday named in England's 16-man squad for the five-Test series against India along with fellow uncapped bowlers Gus Atkinson and Tom Hartley.

The 10th edition of the Bangladesh Premier League will start on January 19 with defending champions Comilla Victorians taking on Durdanto Dhaka at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. 

This is Bangladesh’s second straight win as they had earlier defeated the UAE by 61 runs on Saturday.

“This is a moment to cherish," Nahida said.

Taijul Islam, who spun Bangladesh to their maiden home Test win over New Zealand in Sylhet, spoke with The Daily Star's Mazhar Uddin, where he opened up about his views on getting overshadowed by his more prominent teammates and gave his two cents about the use of home advantage in home Tests. The excerpts are given below:
