Australia's Glenn Maxwell has not given up hope of playing Test cricket again and says his record in the subcontinent could earn him a recall for the first time in more than seven years when the team tour Sri Lanka in early 2025.

“I think they gave us a blueprint on what's successful in these conditions, and hopefully we can apply that to this next Test match,” Sodhi said

“The feeling of winning against such a big team can’t be expressed in words,” Taijul told the media after the match

New Zealand Test captain Tim Southee refused to blame fatigue from a gruelling ODI World Cup campaign in India for his side's defeat in the first Test of a two-match series against Bangladesh in Sylhet on Saturday.

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said his team are enjoying the victory, but knows that there would be criticism of his side if they do poorly in the next match.

Taijul Islam completed a 10-wicket-haul as Bangladesh brought up their maiden home Test victory over New Zealand, defeating the Kiwis by 150 runs on the fifth day of the first Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today.

Dowrich played in 35 Tests, scoring 1570 runs with a high score of 125 not out against Sri Lanka in 2018

The incident took place before the second ball of the 34th over of the Bangladesh innings when Phillips was bowling to Najmul Hossain Shanto

Taijul Islam broke through the castle of Kane Williamson close to the end of the second day as New Zealand were 266 for eight before bad light put an end to the day's play in Sylhet.

"Why are you here?" The day's play had just begun at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. The players had taken the field in front of about a hundred fans in the gallery.

Just into his career’s 10th Test, Bangladesh Test opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy has seen the highs and lows not particularly seen in internationals. Today against the Kiwis in the first Test, there was highs and lows too, following a team-high 86 which saw him miss out on a ton but his resilience sees the game in balance after day one.

Part-time off-spinner Glenn Phillips took four wickets as Bangladesh were reduced to 310 for nine at the end of the first day of the first Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today.

Joy, who is batting on 53, completed his half-century off 93 balls as Bangladesh reached 116-2 after 31 overs.

Joy is now batting on 42 and he is accompanied in the middle by Mominul Haque, who is unbeaten on three.

The ball pitched on around the fifth stump line, then turned back sharply to crash into Zakir’s off stump, ending his innings on 12 off 42 balls.

The Tigers have gone with a spin-heavy attack with Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Nayeem Hasan and Taijul Islam

Experienced West Indies middle-order batter has decided to take a break from the international game after being overlooked for the upcoming ODI series against England.

Santner, who took 15 wickets at 26 and averaged 52 with the bat this season in the Plunket Shield for Northern Districts, is back in squad for the first time in two years.
