Sri Lanka's Dimuth Karunaratne said Sunday it had been "a very emotional day" after his 100th and final Test ended with a defeat to Australia.

Bosch, 30, made his national team debut this season and played his only One-Day International in a 36-run defeat to Pakistan in Johannesburg in December.

Australia won the second Test against Sri Lanka by nine wickets in Galle on Sunday to sweep the series 2-0.

The rivalry between Pakistan and India in cricket is well-documented, with India generally having the upper hand in ICC tournaments since the 1990s. The last time Pakistan triumphed over India in an ICC event was in 2021 during the T20 World Cup, when they won in Dubai.

Blood poured from the head of a dazed Ravindra while the crowd looked on with concern.

Mahidul Islam Ankon was the surprise package of the just-concluded Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). The wicketkeeper-batter, who is better known for his steadfast run-making, plundered 316 runs in 12 innings for Khulna Tigers as a finisher with an astonishing strike-rate of 174.58 – the highest among all batters with at least 300 runs in BPL 11.

The camp will continue until February 12 before they leave for the UAE on February 14 to participate in the marquee event, scheduled to start on February 19.

Glenn Phillips cracked a maiden century and Mitchell Santner grabbed three wickets to help New Zealand overpower Pakistan by 78 runs in the opening match of a tri-nations series in Lahore on Saturday.

Captain Andy Balbirnie and Lorcan Tucker scored half-centuries as Ireland posted 298 in their second innings to take control of a one-off Test against Zimbabwe on Saturday.

With Sri Lanka leading by only 54 runs, Steve Smith's side will be eager to mop up the tail early Sunday and seal a 2-0 sweep.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) informed that the board would be assuming “responsibility for the contract and match fees of all international players signed from the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) draft”, however, it made no such commitment for the directly signed overseas cricketers.

A dramatic last-ball boundary shattered Khulna Tigers' Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) campaign to a heartbreaking end on Thursday. Yet, head coach Talha Jubair deserves credit for guiding a team lacking star power to the penultimate hurdle, marking another chapter in the former national pacer's coaching journey. The 39-year-old spoke to The Daily Star’s Samsul Arefin Khan about why he prefers being a bowling coach, the evolution of Bangladesh’s pace bowling and more. Here are the excerpts from the interview:
