As a crucial member of Bangladesh cricket team during the ICC T20 World Cup in India, Mustafizur Rahman has embarked on his first overseas tour, and is acclimatizing to the environment at Dharamsala where Tigers are due to play their three qualifying matches.

Tigers led by Captain Courageous Mashrafe Mortaza must not be overwhelmed by the enormity of the task during the final of Asia Cup 2016 today, for they are made of sterling material, and are second to none.

Mashrafe’s exploits as a captain not only enabled Bangladesh to win some nail-biting contests in the recent past, but gave the cricketing world a new perception of Tigers…one that commands respect and admiration unlike never before!

If Mushy wants to entertain his fans and followers with his bat, he needs to be promoted up the order against Sri Lanka during the 5th match of Asia Cup 2016 at Mirpur, 7:30pm today.

Bangladesh paid the ultimate price for sloppy fielding and made it quite easy for India to overwhelm them by 45 runs in the opening match of Asia Cup 2016 at Mirpur stadium yesterday.

India team director Ravi Shastri has forgotten all about the Mustafizur-mauling his side received on their way to a maiden series loss to Bangladesh only eight months ago in 2015.

Bangladesh Cricket Board awarded young Mustafizur Rahman with a contract for 2016 while Rubel Hossain, a key member of Tigers' pace attack during the 2015 World Cup was left out of the list of contracted players.

After the three-hour practice session was completed at Mirpur, Mashrafe Mortaza met the press, and ‘February 21’ dominated the topics of questions for him on Sunday.

Mushfiqur Rahim, Bangladesh cricket’s pocket-battleship pays his respect on the occasion of February 21 in his own way, uniquely in his personal style.

Shahid Afridi, Pakistan captain fires a stern warning salvo at the national players, and calls upon them to pull up their socks during the Asia Cup in Bangladesh or lose T20 world cup spot.

Fawad Rana, owner of Lahore franchise, said the loss of Bangladesh's bowling sensation Mustafizur Rahman before the start of the PSL had disrupted the team's plans significantly.

Shoaib Akhtar, the Rawalpindi Express silenced Kolkata on February 17, 1999 with two unforgettable deliveries to Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar.

Having missed most of the recent Test and ODI matches against England due to injury, Dale Steyn nearly did even more damage to himself by the jaws of a great white shark.

Bangladesh’s dashing left hand opening batsman Tamim Iqbal has been in terrific form, and delivering the goods for his team Peshawar Zalmi in the first edition of Pakistan Super League.

Jaker Ali holds his nerve and smashes the third ball from Kumara to the fence…Tigers win by three wickets, clinch third place and the Bangla-shake begins.

This season Shakib will play in four T20 leagues around the world. At present, he is playing for Karachi Kings in Pakistan Super League.

Carrom board is the second most common thing in Bangladesh for a Bangladeshi after the crow, and also second behind the rickshaw for a foreigner and definitely second after the dirt, grime and pollution for a non-residential Bangladeshi (NRB) just arrived…Ufff, ki gondho (What the stench is this?)

Bangladesh U19 team will face West Indies on February 11, Thursday at Mirpur stadium for a place in the final against the tournament favourites India.
