Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal is set to return to cricket in the upcoming National Cricket League (NCL) T20, scheduled to begin on September 14, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) director Akram Khan confirmed on Thursday.

Bangladesh have never won an ODI series in Sri Lanka.

Litton Das became Bangladesh’s leading wicket-keeper in Tests as he surpassed his veteran teammate Mushfiqur Rahim for most dismissals on Day 2 of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Thursday.

Litton Das had to walk back to the pavilion at the Galle International Stadium on the second day of Bangladesh’s first Test against Sri Lanka yesterday, falling just 10 runs short of what could have been his fifth Test century.

Unbeaten centuries from Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim on the opening day of the Galle Test yesterday brought welcome relief to Bangladesh cricket, who have been under scrutiny in recent months for both on- and off-field issues.

Mushfiqur Rahim is playing only one format -- Test.

Bangladesh batter Mushfiqur Rahim has backed skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto to go on and convert his century into a double, after both reached three figures on the opening day of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle on Tuesday.

Bangladesh are set to play a two-match Test series against hosts Sri Lanka, starting from 17 June in Galle.

The Bangladesh cricket team has long epitomised an on-again, off-again pattern -- considering their enduring struggle with inconsistency across all formats.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Aminul Islam Bulbul informed that veterans Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad had expressed a desire to become coaches at the international level.

It was 2005 when an 18-year-old Mushfiqur, a surprise inclusion in Bangladesh’s squad for their maiden tour of England, debuted at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground. 

Facing a must-win Test in Chattogram, Bangladesh and Mushfiqur battle to revive their struggling campaign.

He is five Tests away from becoming the first Bangladeshi cricketer to reach the 100-Test milestone — a landmark achievement. But milestones alone cannot justify selection if current form continues to deteriorate. 

Former Bangladesh captain Khaled Mahmud was disappointed that Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad could not bid goodbye from ODIs from the field and said patience would be key in finding replacements for the veteran duo.

Having earlier ended his Test and T20I career, Mahmudullah took his final bow from ODIs yesterday.

Bangladesh veteran Mahmudullah Riyad called time on an 18-year international career through a Facebook post yesterday. The 39-year-old, who scored 11,047 runs in international cricket, had retired from Tests in 2021 and called time on his T20I career last year in October. Here we present the highlights of his career:

Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed is in a league of his own in terms of getting a new Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) contract as the 29-year-old was the only player named in the A+ category which pays the most.

As he bids farewell to ODIs, former Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar reflected on Mushfiqur’s career, his impact on the game, and the legacy he leaves behind.

Mushfiqur started his ODI journey in 2006, wherein he quickly built his reputation as a feisty customer up for a fight irrespective of the opposition.
