The fact that there is a dearth of players, especially off-spinners, in Bangladesh’s pipeline was made even more apparent following the Tigers’ recent debacle against Sri Lanka in the two-match Test series at home last month.

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.

Former Bangladesh captain Mohammad Ashraful continues his superb spell of form for Lullington Park Cricket Club in the ongoing season of England’s Minor County cricket league.

Bangladesh batting coach Jamie Siddons thought that Shakib Al Hasan’s reappointment as the Test captain will be a positive move for the Bangladesh side as the cricketers usually tend to follow Shakib more than they probably did Mominul Haque.

Bangladesh all-rounder Mehedi Hasan Miraz spoke highly of Shakib Al Hasan’s reappointment as Test captain.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) could not find any replacements for selectors Minhajul Abedin and Habibul Bashar, and hence, the tenure of the selection panel including the two former Bangladesh skippers along with the other selector Abdur Razzak is set to be extended till the 2023 World Cup.

Former Bangladesh seamer Syed Rasel is set to take up a coaching job at a cricket academy in the United States. The 37-year-old will work as the head coach of the Cricket Academy of Detroit in Michigan for three months and is expected to join later this month.

Liton Das attained career-best ratings in Tests after remaining instrumental with the bat in Bangladesh's recently-concluded two-Test series against Sri Lanka at home. 

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.  

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon said that he personally does not want to replace Mominul Haque as the Test captain of Bangladesh anytime soon. 

Premier all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has taken himself to a new height as he has bagged a five-wicket haul and also scored a fifty in a Test on 10 occasions, the second most after legendary all-rounder Ian Botham of England. 

Liton Das has been the name of a revolution for Bangladesh over the past one year or so as the elegant right-hander keeps taking his game to greater heights with commendable consistency.

“I think Sri Lanka are still behind. If we can pick up a few early wickets in the first hour of the [third] day, then we will have the upper hand. The first innings is crucial. If they get close to our total or go past it, then we will be on the back foot. So it will be important to take a first-innings lead,” Liton opined.

Even though Bangladesh lost two early wickets on the second day of their second Test against Sri Lanka in Mirpur today, Mushfiqur Rahim kept on going as the experienced campaigner brought up his 150. 

Bangladesh top-order crumbled to Sri Lanka pace attack within the first hour of the second Test at Dhaka today. Kasun Rajitha and Asitha Fernando ran through the top-order as Bangladesh slumped to 24 for five in just the seventh over, making a few records on the way.

Mushfiqur Rahim beat Tamim Iqbal to the punch as the former became the first Bangladeshi batter to have reached the 5000-run landmark in Tests during the Tigers’ fourth day’s play of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Chattogram today.

Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will be playing the first Test against Sri Lanka, beginning from tomorrow in Chattogram, confirmed Bangladesh Test skipper Mominul Haque during the pre-match press conference today. 

The initial potential shown by the tournament is slowly disappearing.

It seems like the test team is back to square one.

Bangladesh Cricket has been struggling with their opening batters for a while now.
