“I have decided to quit cricket as a mark of protest against a group of people in the Bangladesh Cricket Board [BCB] who do not want to see me in the squad.”

Three of Bangladesh’s finest cricketing talents caught up with each other at the heart of the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Tuesday, ahead of a Bangladesh Premier League fixture between Rangpur Riders and Khulna Tigers. Rangpur Riders all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan was busy with his side’s bowling coach Mohammad Rafique when former captain Mohammad Ashraful, now working as a TV analyst, decided to catch up with his former national teammates.

Like the familiar waves of the Bay of Bengal at the edge of the city of Chennai, the 22 yards inside the Chidambaram Stadium could give the Bangladesh team a sense of familiarity. The pitches here assist the spinners

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 Cricket Board (BCB) call up former Bangladesh spinner Mohammad Rafique to assist the slow bowlers in the ongoing High Performance (HP) programme.

Shakib Al Hasan captures his 100th wicket at home during the third day of the Test match against India at Fatullah stadium today.

There’s every chance that the upcoming series against India might just be the most successful tour that the Tigers have ever had against their South Asian neighbours.

Test cricket is coming back to Fatullah after nine years when the ground will host the Test match between Bangladesh and India on June 10, 2015.
