Australian David Warner has labelled Afghanistan's Rashid Khan "a superstar in the making" after the Sunrisers Hyderabad leg-spinner produced a stunning performance against the Gujarat Lions on Sunday night.

Bangladesh's ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman will not be attending the training camp in Sussex, Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) media operations committee chairman Akram Khan said yesterday.

Sunrisers Hyderabad coach Tom Moody Sunday said that Bangladesh's left-arm pace sensation Mustafizur Rahaman is expected to join the franchise on April 7 after playing the final match of the limited overs series against Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan told reporters at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo yesterday that Mustafizur Rahman would be able to play in the Indian Premier League 'if he wants to' but that it will only be after 10 days' rest at home after the tour of Sri Lanka ends.

Indian online media is currently agog with the news that Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman will likely not participate in the 2017 edition of the Indian Premier League after Sportstar quoted the left-armer as saying ‘I don’t think I will be able to make it for the tournament this time around’, in a piece published online on March 30.

Ever since his debut, when he took the world by storm by bowling Bangladesh to a series win over India, Mustafizur Rahman has been a precious commodity in Bangladesh cricket.

Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman, who played a key role in Sunrisers Hyderabad‘s (SRH) victory in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2016, is likely to miss the upcoming edition of the tournament.

Bangladesh trail Sri Lanka by 361 runs with 8 wickets remaining in their first innings of the first Test at the Galle International Stadium today.

Cricket is a game of fine margins. If the coin had been angled differently when it hit the Galle International Stadium pitch yesterday, maybe it would have been Bangladesh enjoying a batting-friendly pitch and the Sri Lankans toiling away in the heat.

One of the points of interest surrounding the first Test is the return of the Fizz. Mustafizur Rahman, one of the most beloved Bangladesh cricketers, is only playing his third Test.

Sri Lanka amassed 321 for 4 after 88 overs after the first day of the first Test against Bangladesh at the Galle International Stadium today.
