Bangladesh Test skipper Shakib Al Hasan said that all the batters in the side have technical problems and discussing such issues would be problematic for him in the sense that it would mean him becoming both coach and captain.

Bangladesh fast bowler Khaled Ahmed said the Tigers will still be going for a win and that they want to take the game deep after the second day's play of the first Test against West Indies at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Saturday. 

When Bangladesh scored 365 runs in the Mirpur Test against Sri Lanka earlier last month, six of their batters had departed for naughts. Bangladesh became the only Test side in history to have suffered the fate twice after the West Indies in 2002 gave the Tigers a first taste, which is only familiar to New Zealand, India, Pakistan and South Africa as of now.   

With the upcoming Test series against West Indies starting from June 16, Shakib Al Hasan will begin a new journey as the captain of the Bangladesh Test side.

’It’s not because of the runs he [Liton Das] has under his belt but his style of batting attracts me the most like many other fans. It’s eye-soothing, it’s pure entertainment,” said former Bangladesh captain Mohammad Ashraful, who also enthralled the cricket fans all over the world despite being inconsistent during a topsy-turvy international career.

Bangladesh Test captain Shakib Al Hasan has arrived in the West Indies ahead of the two-match Test series, the team’s Logistics Operations Manager Nafees Iqbal confirmed to The Daily Star today.

Bangladesh are set to embark on a month-long tour in the West Indies this month to test their skills in all three formats against the home side, once an undisputed powerhouse of the game.

Bangladesh are set to embark on a month-long tour in the West Indies this month to test their skills in all three formats against the home side, once an undisputed powerhouse of the game.

Experienced Bangladesh national cricketer Imrul Kayes is far from being an unfamiliar figure when it comes to captaincy as the left-hander had successfully managed to twice lead Comilla Victorians to glory in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), the country’s franchise-based T20 cricket competition, since he was appointed captain in 2019. 

Bangladesh cricketer Mominul Haque's declaration to quit Test captaincy may not have shocked the cricketing fraternity, given his persisting off-form with the bat. However, those who have been following what Mominul had said of late, would know that the decision does guarantee a few raised eyebrows.  

With the intention of improving the mental fitness of the cricketers of the Bangladesh national team, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is planning to hold a relevant programme ahead of the upcoming West Indies tour next month.

On the back of a 1-0 defeat in the recently-concluded Test series against Sri Lanka and with a packed schedule ahead of Bangladesh, some of the members of the national team have taken a break ahead of their upcoming West Indies tour next month.

There was not any significant difference between hosts Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in terms of international experience as the two subcontinental rivals locked horns in a two-match Test series within the past two weeks.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon backed the Bangladesh Test captain Mominul Haque and said that his captaincy is not something the management is worried about.

Bangladesh head coach Russell Domingo mentioned that the tailor-made pitches in the past at home has hurt the Tigers' improvement in the long run and the South African also urged to create sporting pitches to enhance performance in the longest format of the game.

Bangladesh bowlers have something to smile about after a tiresome day in the field on day four of the second Test of the two-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today.

Sri Lanka batter Dinesh Chandimal was the latest to pull off three figures for his side after Angelo Mathews scored his second century of the two-match test series against hosts Bangladesh as the visitors keep gaining momentum on day four of the Dhaka Test today.

Bangladesh may not have an impressive Test records in the last 15 Test they played, having won only three matches where two of them came against the lowly ranked Zimbabwe. However, two Bangladesh batters have been exceptional during this period and find themselves on top in two separate lists.

Bangladesh left-arm spinner Taijul Islam has been fined 25 per cent of his match fees, slapped with a demerit point as well, for throwing the ball at Angelo Mathews even though the Sri Lanka batter was safe inside his crease and was not even looking to take a run.
