The last time Chelsea won the Premier League was back in 2016-17. Since then, despite being in the fight for the crown on a few occasions, The Blues have struggled to find the killer instinct and have suffered from several setbacks centred around an unexpected change in ownership. Performance levels had also reached severe lows in the 2022-23 season and they ended up finishing 12th in the league.
Shakib Al Hasan wanted to play the last test of his career on home soil but the biggest cricket star of the country could not return to the country even after reaching Dubai owing to security concerns. Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Mahmud advised the 37-year-old star all-rounder not to return to “avoid untoward situations”. Since the fall of Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government in August, there has been uncertainty about Shakib’s return to the country.
In a bombshell press conference on Thursday, Bangladesh ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan said that he had informed the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) that the upcoming South Africa Test series at home in October-November will be the last Test series of his career.

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Star, Asif Mahmud Sajeeb Bhuiyan, the Adviser for Youth and Sports to the Interim Government, has pointed out several issues he has had to encounter since being sworn in for the role on August 8. Asif explained his take on the current issues and the solutions he intends to provide. He said that the constitutions upon which the sports federations operate need to change to establish democratic practices and create a culture where accountability is paramount.
Sports in Bangladesh has been affected by the unrest following the change in government. The partisanship over the years in federations such as the Bangladesh Cricket Board and the Bangladesh Football Federation has created unrest and uncertainty. How can such situations in the country's sports federations be avoided? How can worthy organisers take positions in these federations? To answer all of these, The Daily Star's sports podcast Pitch Perfect brings you an in-depth discussion in its latest episode.
