Mehedi Hasan Miraz
Captain Miraz’s all-round test in Antigua
Not often can a cricketer boast reaching a milestone just by stepping onto the field. But on Friday, all-rounder Mehedi Hasan Miraz reached not one but two significant career milestones when he went out for the toss ahead of the first of the two Tests against West Indies in Antigua.
Louis, Athanaze miss out on centuries as Windies edge Tigers on Day 1
Mikyle Louis and Alick Athanaze both fell just short of maiden Test centuries as West Indies reached 250-5 at stumps on the opening day of the first Test of two against Bangladesh on Friday.
Miraz aims to end Tigers’ Caribbean curse in 50th Test
Bangladesh’s Test record against the West Indies stands at four wins in 20 encounters, with just two victories on Caribbean soil -- both in 2009.
Batting concerns dominate as Tigers tackle Windies
Bangladesh take on the West Indies in the first Test in Antigua today, hoping their slightly inexperienced batting line-up can weather the pace storm. Antigua has a strong recent record of making Bangladesh batters suffer.
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.
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.
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.
Liton, Miraz enter record books with historic stand
Liton Das and Mehedi Hasan Miraz achieved a never before done feat in Test cricket today, becoming the only pair in history to form a partnership of over 150 runs for the seventh or lower wicket after the team had lost six wickets for less than 50 runs on the board.
Mahmud strikes twice after Liton's epic 138
Liton's 138 and Miraz's 78 were the highlight of the Bangladesh innings.
Taskin makes instant impact on comeback
Bangladesh speedster Taskin Ahmed made an instant impact on his return to Test cricket after 14 months as he came up with a sensational bowling performance on the second day of the second Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi yesterday.
Bowlers put Tigers on top
Bangladesh bowlers, led by off-spinner Mehedi Hasan Miraz, had a field day on Day 2 of the second Test against Pakistan at the Rawalpindi Stadium yesterday as their efforts bundled out the hosts for 274.
Wickets in first hour vital: Miraz
All-rounder Mehedi Hasan Miraz said that a fiery first hour from the Bangladesh bowlers on Day 5 of the first Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi can create an unlikely opening for the Tigers in a contest that seemingly is heading towards a draw.
