Tigers’ smiles shine bright as Bangladesh clinched their first-ever T20I series win in Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh T20I skipper Litton Das dedicated their T20I series triumph over Sri Lanka to the martyrs of the July movement last year.

Bangladesh are on a run of five straight T20I losses following a bitter 2-1 series loss to UAE and a 3-0 hammering by Pakistan.

Open bidding for the worldwide media rights for the Bangladesh national cricket team’s upcoming three-match home T20I series against Pakistan will take place at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur tomorrow.

Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz said that losing quick wickets in the middle saw the Tigers succumb to a 77-run defeat in the first of the three ODIs against hosts Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday. 

Amid this challenging phase, with a new ODI captain in Mehidy Hasan Miraz set to lead the side in the upcoming Sri Lanka series starting June 2, the pressure to rebuild and restore confidence is more immense than ever.

On June 26, 2000, Bangladesh became the 10th nation to gain Test status from the ICC -- a historic milestone that sparked hope and pride across the country.

Come June 26, Bangladesh will be completing its 25 years in Test cricket.

Litton Das had to walk back to the pavilion at the Galle International Stadium on the second day of Bangladesh’s first Test against Sri Lanka yesterday, falling just 10 runs short of what could have been his fifth Test century.

The Bangladesh cricket team has long epitomised an on-again, off-again pattern -- considering their enduring struggle with inconsistency across all formats.

Bangladesh Test skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto is set to lead the side for at least a year and has emphasised the importance of knowing the duration of his tenure in order to prepare with a long-term objective, part of which will be to do better in the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.

Evolving and growing through every phase of life is a natural phenomenon. For most, this brings about positive changes. But for the Bangladesh cricket team, the exact opposite is the case, as in every new series and tour, the Tigers unlock new problem areas in their game.

Bangladesh pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib claimed that every player in the Tigers’ current XI is a "proven player" in both domestic and international cricket. His remarks came after the Tigers’ 57-run loss to Pakistan in the second T20I of the three-match series, which saw Bangladesh concede the series 2-0 with one game left to play.

Former captains Habibul Bashar, Minhajul Abedin Nannu, and Khaled Mashud Pilot didn't mince words: this isn't just a passing stumble. It's a full-blown crisis in Bangladesh cricket.

Bangladesh skipper Liton Das said that the dew factor played the main role in their series loss against the inexperienced UAE after the Tigers lost the third and final game of the three-match series by seven wickets at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium yesterday.

Sunday’s press conference held by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) was the perfect example of a board deflecting the issues instead of acknowledging them.

“If we can’t stick to our planning even against lower-ranked sides, how can we expect growth in Test cricket? I’m not against offering spin-friendly conditions, but why against Zimbabwe? Why did we lose confidence after one loss?”

Bangladesh turned things around in the Test series against Zimbabwe, winning the second and final Test by a resounding margin of an innings and 106 runs in Chattogram yesterday.

Bangladesh all-rounder Mehedi Hasan Miraz had a point to prove in the second Test against Zimbabwe, and he did just that on Day 3 of the Chattogram Test yesterday.

Only by losing the first Test in Sylhet could Bangladesh have fans, and everyone else, turn their focus towards themselves for a series that nearly experienced a media blackout, forcing the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to get state-run BTV as the broadcast partner.
