Young leg-spinner Rishad Hossain will be joining the Bangladesh squad in Dubai ahead of the Asia Cup, scheduled to begin on August 27 in the UAE. 

The Bangladesh T20 team departed for UAE yesterday with hopes of getting their bearings in the shortest form in order in the Asia Cup. Only Anamul Haque Bijoy and pacer Taskin Ahmed did not travel with the squad due to their visas not arriving on time and are expected to travel today.

While the Bangladesh cricket team departed for the UAE Tuesday afternoon, pacer Taskin Ahmed and batter Anamul Haque Bijoy had to wait one more day after failing to board the flight due to visa complications. 

India head coach Rahul Dravid has tested positive for COVID-19 and will join the Asia Cup squad later in the United Arab Emirates, the country's cricket board (BCCI) said on Tuesday.

Bangladesh are set to fly for the UAE today evening, having participated in two practice matches at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Sunday and Monday respectively.

Whether on the field or off it, Shakib Al Hasan has remained the biggest attraction in Bangladesh cricket for his unconventionally bold attitude over the years.

On his 23rd birthday, Mohammad Naim was recalled to the Bangladesh national side as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Monday included the opener in the Tigers' squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, to begin on August 27 in the UAE.

Russell Domingo is probably the only head coach in world cricket who has been given a break over his duty from T20 format in order to focus on ODI and Test cricket after the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) decided to apply drastic measures to change the fortunes of the Tigers in the shortest format.

Express pacer Mohammad Hasnain will replace injured Shaheen Shah Afridi in Pakistan's squad for this week's Asia Cup, the country's cricket board said on Monday.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon finally made clear that Russell Domingo will not be in charge of the Bangladesh T20I team.

Shakib Al Hasan revealed that after taking over the challenge of captaining the Bangladesh T20I side, what was going through the back of his mind was that the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president, Nazmul Hassan Papon, was going to keep him under pressure.

Buzzwords are never too far from the lips of Bangladesh players and officials whenever a series is on the horizon.

Bangladesh Test and T20I skipper Shakib Al Hasan today jokingly said that media and the fans, in general, do not know about his practice routine precisely as he usually refrains from posting his training videos on social media.

Jamie Siddons, Bangladesh batting consultant, was there and so were other members of the coaching panel in Allan Donald, Shane McDermott and Rangana Herath. Team director Khaled Mahmud walked down the side line, passing on instructions but head coach Russell Domingo was nowhere to be seen yesterday during Bangladesh's preparatory practice match for the Asia Cup, played between Bangladesh Red and Bangladesh Green, at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

Bangladesh T20I skipper Shakib Al Hasan said that the Tigers would need a fresh start in the shortest format and for that, a process would be required that will allow the T20 outfit to improve gradually.

Bangladesh team director Khaled Mahmud Sujon said that ‘positive human being’ Russell Domingo will take former India all-rounder Sridharan Sriram's inclusion in the Tigers’ coaching panel in a positive manner.

Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud is uncertain for the upcoming Asia Cup, to be held in the UAE from August 27, after the young pacer suffered an injury during the Tigers’ practice session at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today. 

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has appointed Sridharan Sriram, a former India cricketer and a long-term assistant coach of Australia, to lead the Bangladesh national team in the forthcoming Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup.

The last and only time that the Asia Cup followed the T20 format was in 2016 and after over six years, the upcoming 15th edition of the continental tournament is once again set to be played in the UAE from August 27 in the shortest format.

The Bangladesh think-tank is considering changes to the batting order for the Asia Cup, slated to start on August 27, with the intention of changing the Tigers' dwindling fortunes in the shortest format of the game.
