Bangladesh’s lone warm-up game begins today
The match will begin at 8:00 PM Bangladesh time and is an opportunity for the Tigers to gear up before their final assignment of the ongoing ICC Test Championship 2023-25 cycle – a two-Test series against the West Indies – begins at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on November 22.
Thrust into captain's role, Miraz radiates composure
In all likelihood, Miraz, named vice-captain, is set to captain the side in West Indies Tests, taking over duties from Najmul Hossain Shanto, who has been ruled out of the upcoming Tests due to a groin strain. Shanto, who was also unable to play yesterday due to that injury, talked about Miraz’s innings at the interval.
Resilient Riyad defies odds again
Mahmudullah Riyad fell in the nervous nineties for the first time in his international career, but not before the veteran smashed a brilliant run-a-ball 98 to propel Bangladesh to 244 for eight in the series-deciding third ODI against Afghanistan in Sharjah yesterday.
‘The wicket changed all of a sudden’: Miraz blames pitch for batting collapse
Bangladesh all-rounder Mehedi Hasan Miraz claimed that the pitch used for the first ODI of the three-match against Afghanistan on Wednesday changed abruptly to cause a thumping collapse in the Tigers’ batting effort, leading to a 92-run loss at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Time to promote Miraz up the order?
In Test cricket, Bangladesh have always blazed their own trail, usually down the wrong path, and followed processes that would beget blank stares and stunned looks in most other teams.

Tigers look to take fight to India with balanced attack
Bangladesh are going into the India series on the back of a historic away series sweep against Pakistan. Their previous tour of India in 2019 hadn’t gone to well for them but all-rounder Mehedi Hasan Miraz is adamant that this time the side is ready for the ‘fight’ against the ‘big side’.
Miraz stepping out of Shakib's shadow
The recent Pakistan series could prove to be the juncture that cricket historians later point to as the moment when Miraz eclipsed Shakib in the race, at least in the red-ball format.

‘Pakistan weren’t poor, we were better’
Pakistan spin wizard Mushtaq Ahmed has been in charge of the Bangladesh spinners for the past two international assignments -- the T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies followed by the two-match Test tour of Pakistan. His troops have delivered remarkable performances in both tours but the 54-year-old is yet to be offered a long-term contract. In an interview with The Daily Star’s Samsul Arefin Khan yesterday, Mushtaq shared his take on Bangladesh’s historic series win in Pakistan and his future with the Tigers.
Miraz relishes ‘one of his happiest moments’
From Mushfiqur Rahim’s majestic hundred in the opening Test to Liton Das’s resilient ton and the pacers’ lethal performance in the series-deciding second Test, there were a number of heroes who played pivotal roles in Bangladesh’s maiden Test series victory over Pakistan.
‘I will never forget this moment’
In a message to the fans in Bangla, Miraz said that he will donate the prize money he won as the player-of-the-series to a rickshaw-pullers' family who recently lost his life after sustaining injuries during the student-led people's movement in Bangladesh.
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.
‘Miraz on course to becoming complete all-rounder’
Compared to his bowling, Miraz’s batting talents are often downplayed. But yesterday, with Bangladesh teetering on the brink on 26-6, the 26-year-old showed his class.
