For over two decades, Shakib Khan has been a leading figure in the Dhallywood film industry. Recently, he has ventured into the world of cricket through his business enterprise, Remark-Herlan, which has acquired a Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) franchise named Dhaka Capitals.
Reflecting on his experiences, Liton acknowledged the pressure that comes with the role, appearing to be coming into his own.
Bangladesh batter Liton Das said it was time for the right-handed batter to take responsibility for his game.
Murder-accused Shakib continues to have the support of his teammates, informed the Bangladesh captain.
If going against the grain is a sought-after trait when achieving a backs-to-the-wall turnaround, Liton mythically overcame his performance issues in Rawalpindi.
“If you want to win a Test match then you have to bat, bowl, and field well. You saw in the first Test, the catch Zakir [Hossain] took and the one I caught off Babar [Azam]…brought the momentum.” said Liton during the post-match presentation.
Liton Das paid credit to the contributions made by Miraz and Mahmud at the conclusion of play and said his innings was just behind his career-best hand of 141 against Sri Lanka in 2022.
A day that had Bangladesh staring at ignominy in the morning ended with them in the ascendency, owing to the tremendous resolve of Liton Das and Mehedi Hasan Miraz as their historic stand fueled the tourists’ fightback on the third day of the second Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi yesterday.
Liton demonstrated the shrewdness of his game during two immense partnerships: first with Miraz and then with an unlikely Hasan Mahmud.
If Liton has some issue to sort out, the team management knows it better than anyone else.
“I can’t speak about Liton’s dismissal. Liton can explain it better. But yes, you don’t see such dismissals often in Test cricket,” Shanto said after the match
Batting disasters are a regular event in Bangladesh’s Test cricket and having slumped in the first innings, the Bangladesh batters once again failed to take up the challenge against a resurgent Sri Lanka pace attack on the third day of the Sylhet Test yesterday.
“Our batting, to me, was really unexpected and not at all acceptable,” Razzak told the media after the day’s play.
Bangladesh lost five wickets for 47 runs in 13 overs late on the third day of Sylhet Test, having been earlier set a victory target of 511 runs by Sri Lanka on Sunday.
Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha said that he would like Liton Das to get back to form and score a lot more runs in red-ball cricket, starting with the upcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka.
Bangladesh opener Liton Das was omitted from the 15-member squad for the third ODI against Sri Lanka, scheduled to take place in Chattogram tomorrow. The move comes on the heels of his persisting struggle with form, notably marked by consecutive dismissals for ducks in the ongoing home ODI series against the visitors.
“With the series now hanging in the balance, we believe Jaker Ali’s addition will provide the team with more options and flexibility in the middle order.”
Bangladesh’s star opener Liton Das is going through a rough patch, and veteran coach Nazmul Abedeen Fahim thinks that the more pressure will be put on Liton, the harder it will be for him to get back amongst runs.
Yesterday’s duck was Liton’s 14th in ODIs and seventh since January 2023. In fact, no other batter among Test-playing nations has been dismissed for naught in ODIs more than Liton since last year.
