Afghanistan have recalled fit-again Ibrahim Zadran in their 15-man Champions Trophy squad, amid ongoing calls for teams to boycott matches against them due to the Taliban government's crackdown on women's rights since returning to power in 2021.

The BCB has the opportunity to make changes to the Champions Trophy squad till next month. It rarely makes it easy to rule out abnormality. So, is there another twist around the corner or have we seen the last of Shakib in national colours?

Hashmatullah Shahidi will lead Afghanistan in their maiden ICC Men's Champions Trophy campaign as the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) confirmed the 15-player squad on Sunday.

Opener Liton Das produced a batting masterclass on his way to a maiden T20 hundred and built an epic 241-run opening stand with another centurion Tanzid Tamim to end Dhaka Capitals’ six-match winless streak as they thrashed Durbar Rajshahi by 149 runs in the Bangladesh Premier League in Sylhet on Sunday.

Cricket will be making its first-ever appearance at the Summer Games in over a century at Los Angeles 2028.

India's powerful and hugely wealthy cricket board on Sunday elected its new chief, former player and advocate Devajit Saikia, the only person nominated to the top post.

Bangladesh batter Liton Das had been struggling in white-ball formats for a while. His last fifty came in ODIs came in the 2023 World Cup in India which was also a poor tournament by his own standards and in his last five ODIs, he scored just 6 runs which included three ducks.

With Tamim Iqbal announcing his retirement on Friday, another chapter in the legacy of Chattogram’s renowned ‘Khan Family’ in Bangladesh cricket has closed. Akram Khan, Tamim’s uncle, was the family’s first representative in the national team, playing for the Tigers from 1988 to 2003. He was followed by Nafees Iqbal, Tamim’s elder brother, who represented Bangladesh from 2003 to 2006. Tamim, the longest-serving family member in the national side and one of the country’s greatest batters, debuted in 2007 and called it quits after an illustrious career filled with highs and lows. On Saturday, Akram, a former captain and current Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) director, shared his reflections with The Daily Star’s Samsul Arefin Khan. He spoke about the family’s emotions following Tamim’s decision, his mixed feelings about Tamim’s career, and thoughts on his nephew’s future plans. The excerpts from the interview are as follows:

Tamim had a chance to rewrite the ending by taking part in the ICC Champions Trophy, starting next month, but eventually chose not to.

Fast bowler Mohammed Shami on Saturday returned to India's squad for the upcoming T20 international series against England after more than a year's break due to injury.

Bangladesh skipper Nigar Sultana Joty emphasised on approach ahead of the West Indies series as the Tigresses vie for direct qualification for the ICC Women’s World Cup.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) extended its heartfelt gratitude to Tamim Iqbal, who has announced his retirement, for his outstanding contributions to Bangladesh cricket.

Pakistan selectors Saturday recalled opener Imam-ul-Haq in a new look squad for the two-match Test series against the West Indies starting next week.

Tamim Iqbal cleared any lingering confusion over his future with the Bangladesh cricket team yesterday by announcing his retirement from international cricket on Facebook.

Sri Lanka razed New Zealand's top-order Saturday to comfortably win the third one-day international in Auckland by 140 runs and salvage a lone victory in the series.

Injured opener Pathum Nissanka top-scored with a rapid 66 Saturday as Sri Lanka posted 290-8 in the third and final one-day international against New Zealand in Auckland.

The selectors had approached Tamim during the ongoing Sylhet phase of the Bangladesh Premier League, presenting the 35-year-old with an opportunity to rejoin the squad. While the southpaw listened to their proposition and mulled over his prospects, he ultimately decided against making a comeback.

Sylhet Strikers ended their three-match losing streak to aggravate more misery on Dhaka Capitals as they registered a three-wicket win during their fourth match of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League T20 at the jam-packed Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Friday.

Bangladesh's star opener Tamim Iqbal announced his retirement from international cricket through a post from his official Facebook page today.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, have all to play for in the upcoming series and can still make it to this year’s Cricket World Cup if they win two of their remaining three games.
