Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officials are considering adding some overseas flair in the country's first-class competitions – National Cricket League (NCL) and the Bangladesh Cricket League (BCL) – a move that has already caused some controversy, and brought forward arguments both for and against it.
Recalled fast bowlers Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue did the damage as India struggled to 204-6 at stumps on Thursday's opening day of their series-decider against England at the Oval.
A group match between the two teams was also called off earlier this month in the veterans' competition sanctioned by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
English power-hitting coach Julian Wood is no stranger to Bangladesh cricket, having coached Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) sides Chattogram Challengers and Sylhet Sunrisers before. But his forthcoming stint in the country will be different as for the first time he will be working with the national side for a three-week camp on power-hitting from August 10 to September 3.
Both teams battle fatigue after five Tests in seven weeks, with vital World Test points at stake.
“We will take a decision [on Bumrah] tomorrow; the wicket looks very green. So we will see how it turns out,” said Gill in the press conference on the eve of the match.
The 23-year-old all-rounder, who has yet to play a one-day international, scored 125 runs and took two wickets as Australia swept West Indies in all five T20s in the Caribbean this month.
BCL four-day begins February; discussions continue on adding Sri Lanka ‘A’ or Afghanistan ‘A’.
The win sealed the first T20 series sweep by an Australian men's team in the West Indies.

“You want to get a Test hundred against Harry Brook? If you wanted to score a century, you should have batted like you wanted to get it!”
