New Zealand and Bangladesh Monday defended the short ball as a legitimate weapon following the bouncer-laden first Test which saw Mushfiqur Rahim rushed to hospital after being hit on the head.

Ace Bangladeshi all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is out of danger after he hurt himself during batting practice, team physio confirms.

Shakib Al Hasan has taken his 200th ODI wicket in the final match of 3-match ODI series against South Africa in Chittagong.

It is Shakib Al-Hassan's 150th ODI. His fans are eagerly waiting to watch how the master batsman is going to mark the occasion.
