Mushy climbs up rankings

When Bangladesh take on West Indies in the first of a two-match Test series in Chattogram from tomorrow, the Tigers will surely bank on Mushfiqur Rahim for the big runs. The wicketkeeper-batsman, who has been in exceptional form lately, was hard at work in the nets at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium yesterday, batting for over an hour against off-spinner Nayeem Hasan.

Bangladesh's wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim climbed 13 steps up the ICC Test batting ranking ladder after becoming the first wicketkeeper to score two double centuries -- the last of which came in the second Test against Zimbabwe earlier this month.

The Tigers' main man behind the stumps is currently 18th on the list, his career-best position in rankings. Mushfiqur was also the first Bangladesh batsman to reach the magic double hundred landmark when he scored his first double ton against Sri Lanka away from home in 2013.

However, Test and T20I captain Shakib Al Hasan dropped to the 25th position on the list.

ভোটের অধিকার আদায়ে জনগণকে রাস্তায় নামতে হবে: ফখরুল

‘যুবকরা এখনো জানে না ভোট কী। আমাদের আওয়ামী লীগের ভাইরা ভোটটা দিয়েছেন, বলে দিয়েছেন—তোরা আসিবার দরকার নাই, মুই দিয়ে দিনু। স্লোগান ছিল—আমার ভোট আমি দিব, তোমার ভোটও আমি দিব।’
