Liton Das responded brilliantly after getting dropped from Bangladesh’s provisional 15-man squad for the ICC Champions Trophy by bringing up his maiden century in competitive T20s while playing for Dhaka Capitals against Duranta Rajshahi in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today.

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.

This will be the first time in 18 years that Bangladesh will play in an ICC event without both Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan

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:
