Tamim Iqbal returned to cricket after a three-week hiatus with a century at Fatullah yesterday. The opener smacked 139 runs in 90 balls during a practice match played between Abahani Limited and Dhaka Premier League title-holders Prime Bank Cricket Club.

The Dhaka Premier League 2015-16 season due to begin in March next year will adopt the players-by-choice transfer method after its proposal was passed through votes by the respective clubs.

Three double-hundreds in the last eight months in first-class cricket has earned Mosaddek the tag of Bangladesh cricket's "next big thing".
