Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury said that the board is unaware of Mustafizur Rahman’s call-up to the Indian Premier League. 

Bangladesh’s newly appointed T20I captain, Liton Das, stated that the national team would have no objections to touring Pakistan later this month if the conditions are deemed favourable by the authorities.

This episode of The Daily Star’s podcast Pitch Perfect takes a deep dive into the unfolding crisis and tries to shed light on the root causes of the dysfunction and explore what it would take to bring Bangladesh cricket back from the brink.

Reporters present during the Bangladesh squad announcement in Mirpur yesterday, ahead of the upcoming T20I series against the UAE and Pakistan, may have felt a strong sense of deja vu.

Sunday’s press conference held by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) was the perfect example of a board deflecting the issues instead of acknowledging them.

Bangladesh are slated to play 16 T20Is against the UAE, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and India ahead of the 2025 Asia Cup. An additional six matches against the West Indies and Ireland will follow. With a packed T20 calendar and Shanto’s declining performances in the format, his inclusion in the squad becomes increasingly difficult to justify.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Saturday issued a clarification on some financial transactions done since the change in leadership, claiming these transactions were done to ‘strengthen’ the safety of BCB’s funds to safeguard the organisation from ‘vested quarters’.

The circus surrounding the way the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) handled the suspension episode of Mohammedan captain Towhid Hridoy gathered further wind on Friday.

There are so many incidents happening in tandem around Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) that sometimes issues get swept under the rug without coming into notice.

Exasperated sighs, brooding stares, and hands on hips were perhaps the common responses as people tuned into the state-run BTV channel late afternoon on Sunday.

Every year, the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) begins with unwavering commitments from authorities to make it even more competitive than the previous years.

Shakib Al Hasan has successfully overturned his bowling ban and is once again allowed to bowl in competitive cricket, however, the uncertainties surrounding his international future are still very much present.

The latest episode of Pitch Perfect brings you an in-depth discussion of the disappointing plight of the BPL and its future.

This will be the first time in 18 years that Bangladesh will play in an ICC event without both Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan

Moore has made significant strides since joining as BCB's Head of Programs in January last year.

The 101-run win over hosts West Indies in the second and final Test in Jamaica on Tuesday was the fitting way for Bangladesh to close out the 2023-2025 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle -- the best one the Tigers experienced to date.

Experienced Bangladesh batter Sharmin Akhter Supta made a sensational return to the national side as she struck a career-best 89-ball 96 in the Tigresses’ record 154-run win over Ireland in the first of three ODIs in Mirpur yesterday. Had she not been caught at mid-off while trying to ratchet up the scoring rate in the latter stage of the innings, Supta could have become only the second Bangladeshi woman batter to score an ODI hundred after Fargana Hoque, who scored both the ODI hundreds for Bangladesh. Playing her first international game since July 2023, she also had cramps while fielding which forced her to leave the ground. After the match, the 28-year-old batter talked to The Daily Star’s Samsul Arefin Khan regarding her comeback, preparation, and yesterday’s match-winning knock. The excerpts of the interview are as follows:

Bangladesh premier all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is not sweating over when he could next appear for the Tigers at the moment, mentioning that he is now focusing on the upcoming Abu Dhabi T10 tournament, which is set to begin today.

Iftekhar Rahman Mithu, chairman of BCB's umpires' committee for the last three years, in an interview with The Daily Star's Samsul Arefin Khan, expressed his concern regarding the recent increase in code of conduct violations by players in the ongoing National Cricket League while also admitting umpiring errors that have led to such a rise. Here are the excerpts of the interview:

Bangladesh cricket is unparalleled in terms of one thing -- creating its own mess and then bemoaning the untidiness.
