Shakib Khan’s Dhaka Capitals to host showbiz-cricket crossover match

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. 

A renewed Liton surfaces

Reflecting on his experiences, Liton acknowledged the pressure that comes with the role, appearing to be coming into his own.

Now is the time to take responsibility: Liton 

Bangladesh batter Liton Das said it was time for the right-handed batter to take responsibility for his game. 

Team spirit emanates as Shanto reflects on 'greatest feat'

Murder-accused Shakib continues to have the support of his teammates, informed the Bangladesh captain. 

Defiant Liton stepped up ‘to take the game on’

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.

Liton hails ‘team effort’ in historic Test series win

“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.

Miraz put Pakistan on the backfoot with his shot-making: Liton

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.

Liton, Miraz turn the tide on Day 3

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.

From back foot to seizing opportunity

Liton demonstrated the shrewdness of his game during two immense partnerships: first with Miraz and then with an unlikely Hasan Mahmud.

Will the trials stop with Soumya-Liton?

Bangladesh have not had a stable opening pair in a while. Even looking at the records over the last two years, there have been 13 different opening pairs turning up for the Tigers. The need for a stable opening stand has been felt, especially as taking advantage of field restrictions is paramount to success in the shortest format of the game.
