India vs Bangladesh: Harmanpreet Kaur and Co look to shake off the rust

The Indian women's cricket team will be expecting the fresh faces to grab the opportunity with both hands and finishers to flourish in the three-match T20 series against Bangladesh beginning here on Sunday, its first international assignment in four months. The T20 series will be followed by three ODIs beginning July 16. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side was last in action at the T20 World Cup in South Africa where it endured a narrow loss to Australia in the knockout phase. In an era where most male cricketers live out of a suitcase due to a relentless schedule, the members of the Indian women's team has had a lot of time to reflect and work on their game. The last competitive event for the Indian players was the inaugural Women's Premier League in March. India, who now have all the resources at their disposal, have not been able to take their game to the next level and match the mighty Australia on a regular basis. The team needs to improve on various aspects including fitness, bow

Bangladesh cricketer Tamim Iqbal announces retirement ahead of ODI WC 2023

Bangladesh ODI captain and one of their most accomplished all format cricketers Tamim Iqbal on Thursday announced his retirement with immediate effect, just three months ahead of the 50-over World Cup in India. The 34-year-old left-handeder made the shock announcement a day after his team lost the opening ODI against Afghanistan here. "This is the end for me. I have given my best. I have tried my best. I am retiring from international cricket from this moment," said Iqbal. "I want to thank all my teammates, coaches, BCB officials, my family members, and those who have been with me through my long journey. They kept faith in me," he added. A hard hitter of the ball, Iqbal played 70 Tests amassing 5,134 runs including 10 centuries and a double ton in his 16 year career. It was in the ODIs that his true potential was realised as a top-order batter, where the stalwart amassed 8,313 runs in 241 games including 14 centuries -- the most for his country. He is also the third-highest ...

Bangladesh not fazed by ''unknown'' Afghanistan ahead of one-off Test

Bangladesh players have been urged to forget about the mystery Afghanistan side and focus on their strengths for their one-off Test starting on Wednesday. Coach Chandika Hathurusingha admits they have little idea about most of the Afghan players but that shouldn't be a problem if they stick to ther process. Normally we focus like 25% on the opposition strengths and weaknesses and 75% on what we do, Hathurusingha said. "But as it stands, we don't know much about them so we can't control that. Afghanistan played its last Test in 2021 against Zimbabwe and only four players have survived from that squad. Rested was celebrated legspinner Rashid Khan, who claimed 11 wickets in the win against Zimbabwe and 11 wickets in Afghanistan's only previous Test against Bangladesh in 2019. Bangladesh has its own fitness problems. Captain Shakib Al Hasan has been ruled out by a finger injury, opener Tamim Iqbal is complaining about a back issue, and fast bowler Taskin Ahmed is waiting to be cleared

BAN vs IRE Test: Lorcan Tucker, Tector and Mcbrine keep visitors alive

Harry Tector's stubborn resistance led Ireland's fightback as the visitors reached 93-5 at lunch on day three of the one-off cricket Test against Bangladesh on Thursday. Tector, who made 50 in the first innings, was batting on 43 with Lorcan Tucker on 24 at the first interval of the day, with Ireland needing 62 runs to force Bangladesh to bat for a second time. Bangladesh took a 155-run lead after being bowled out for 369 in its first innings. Resuming the third day at 27-4, Tector and Peter Moor dealt astutely with the Bangladesh spinners. Their effort put a dent in Bangladesh's hopes to wrap up the Irish second innings quickly. Bangladesh could have removed Tector early in the third morning when he was on 9 but Liton Das put down a chance after the batter edged a slower delivery behind the wicket. Pacer Shoriful Islam finally ended the 38-run partnership, when Moor edged a moving delivery behind the wicket to be out on 16. But Tucker's arrival led to an uptick on the scoreboar

Shakib Al Hasan opts out of IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders to seek replacement

Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan on Sunday reportedly informed his IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders about his unavailability for the entire ongoing season due to international commitments and personal reasons. The KKR are now in the process of seeking a replacement for the all-rounder. According to a report in ESPNCricinfo, Shakib has opted out of IPL 2023 owing to his international engagements with the Bangladesh cricket team as well as some personal reasons. Shakib had already missed the season-opener for KKR against Punjab Kings last weekend along with wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das, who was picked up by the franchise in the auction last December at his base price of Rs 50 lakh. It was believed that Shakib would be available for selection post the T20I series against Ireland at home which ended on March 31. However being a part of the Test side for the one-off game against Ireland (April 4-8) meant that the star Bangladeshi would have joined the KKR squad latest by April .
