19 September 2023, 18:00 PM
Four days after screenshots of Bangladesh pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib’s misogynistic social media posts went viral, Bangladesh Cricket Board faced the media yesterday, but could only offer what amounted to a mere apology on the player’s behalf.

Tigers get a taste of the bounce

On Sunday, Bangladesh fast bowler Taskin Ahmed had said that the pitch for their tour game in Benoni was almost like the slow and flat wickets back home, and added that he had not expected the South Africans to offer a pitch that would prepare the tourists for the strip they will encounter in the first Test starting at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom on Thursday.
