Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani remains confident that his side are ahead of Bangladesh despite the Tigers leading by 112 runs after a rain-affected Day 3 of the opening Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said Zimbabwe will realise how lethal Nahid Rana can be when they face him in the first Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium beginning on Sunday.
Bangladesh cricketers joined a camp in Sylhet today ahead of their two-Test home series against Zimbabwe, starting with the first game at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on April 20. The Tigers’ jovial mood on the first day of their camp was reflected through a post from pacer Hasan Mahmud on his official Facebook page. The post that included a picture of seven of the 10 players who joined the camp so far was captioned, ‘Ignore Nahid Rana’. Hasan was apparently poking fun at Nahid, who was the odd one out in the picture as the right-arm quick was the only one to be looking away from the camera.
The Abahani-Mohammedan game in the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) has lost quite a bit of its lustre with hardly any fans turning up on the ground for the clash in the recent past.
Bangladesh and Abahani captain and Najmul Hossain Shanto’s poor form in red-ball and T20Is had seemingly carried over to the 50-over format as the batter was struggling to score runs in the ongoing Dhaka Premier League (DPL). But the batter seemingly turned a corner yesterday against Legends of Rupganj when he hit his first century in almost a year.
Bangladesh players Najmul Hossain Shanto and Taskin Ahmed experienced vastly contrasting days on Tuesday in the Dhaka Premier League.
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto feels that the likes of Nahid Rana and others who have been drafted in by Pakistan Super League (PSL) sides will get valuable experience playing in franchise cricket.
Having earlier ended his Test and T20I career, Mahmudullah took his final bow from ODIs yesterday.
Bangladesh are set to bank big despite their sorry display in the Champions Trophy.
Bangladesh received a last-minute wake-up call ahead of the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy after their batting fell apart and led to a seven-wicket loss in their lone warm-up match against Pakistan Shaheens at the Dubai Cricket Stadium on Monday.
If Bangladesh indeed win the title, and in the process win two of their group stage matches, they would bag a whopping 29.196 crore taka from the event ($2,240,000+125,000+68,000 = $2,433,000).
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

"To be very honest I'm not happy. Probably I have to bat a bit longer because the wicket was difficult against spin," Shanto, who scored a 119-ball 76, said at the post-match presentation
The ongoing three-match series between Bangladesh and Afghanistan has so far felt like looking inside a time capsule and finding a 50-over series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium from the 90s in all its glory.
