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.
An attacking brand of cricket has been the name of the game in the ongoing ICC World Cup. India, with the aggressive batting-approach have led the way so far but for Bangladesh, however, the scenario is quite the opposite.
Bangladesh got off to a brilliant start today.
After a disappointing loss on his birthday, Bangladesh opener Liton Das on Saturday failed to keep his on-field rut hidden as it spilt over off-field on keen media personnel present at the Conrad Hotel during the team's day off.
“Why are the media here? Why are they taking my photo?” Bangladesh opener Liton Das vented to the security staff of the Conrad Hotel in Pune on Sunday.
Despite having cruised to a six-wicket victory against Afghanistan in their World Cup opener, Bangladesh will have their work cut out against a somewhat wounded England in Dharamshala today.
Over the course of the last 12 months, the highest stand by a Bangladesh opening pair had been 102 that Liton Das and Tamim Iqbal had notched. Without Tamim in the World Cup squad, and amidst the ongoing form concerns of openers ahead of the World Cup, youngster Tanzid Hasan and the formidable Liton finally found the runs they needed under their belt ahead of a huge tournament during the first warm-up fixture against Sri Lanka in Guwahati yesterday.
Captain Liton Das and Tamim Iqbal has asked for rest in the third and final ODI against New Zealand, confirmed selector Habibul Bashar on Sunday.
With the World Cup just around the corner, the three-match ODI series against New Zealand was expected to be an ideal platform for the vulnerable Bangladesh top-order to reassess its focus and gain confidence.
Ahead of the World Cup, Liton’s dip in form has been in focus with ODI results not quite going Tigers’ way.
With rain denying Bangladeshi cricketers from practising ahead of the first of the three-match ODI series against New Zealand, stand-in skipper Liton Das informed that they might need to play mind games in order to get success against the Kiwis.
