It seems the Bangladesh national cricket team is on a mission to break all sorts of records in Tests, well, at least the ignominious ones. They hit a new low yesterday when they conceded an innings and 273-run defeat to South Africa in the second and final Test to suffer a 2-0 clean-sweep in Chattogram.
Former South Africa captain Ashwell Prince is currently working as the batting coach of his country. The 47-year-old had previously worked with Bangladesh as a batting consultant from August 2021 to February 2022, but resigned from his position with nine months still left on his contract.
Tony de Zorzi remained unbeaten on 141 on day one of the second Test against Bangladesh in Chattogram as South Africa dominated proceedings reaching 307 for 2 before bad light ended play.
Bangladesh’s all-format captain Najmul Hossain Shanto expressed a wish to step down from captaincy after the ongoing South Africa Test series, the first match of which the Tigers lost by seven wickets in Mirpur last week and the final game to be played in Chattogram from tomorrow.

Mehedi Hasan Miraz and Jaker Ali struck half-centuries as Bangladesh staged a fightback with an 81-run lead before bad light brought an early finish to day three of the first Test on Wednesday.
Veteran batter Mushfiqur Rahim became the first Bangladeshi to go past 6000 runs in Test cricket on the final session on Day 2 of the ongoing first Test against South Africa at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka today.
Bangladesh’s Taijul Islam entertained all with his witty responses in the press conference after the first day’s play of the ongoing first Test against South Africa on Monday.
Mahmudul Hasan Joy survived a close call right before bad light called an early end to the day's play for the second straight day as Bangladesh reached 101-3 at stumps on Day 2 of the first Test at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka today.
