Tigers must channel Mominul’s resolve
As someone who has often struggled for consistency, Mominul applied himself better than the rest of the Bangladesh batters.
‘Safety first’ as Tigers face T20 onslaught
“In Tests, we see different scenarios. How the game went today, it was like in T20s,” Bangladesh all-rounder Mehedi Hasan Miraz encapsulated what transpired in India’s first innings on day four of the second and final Test at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur yesterday.
Mominul prevails against Ashwin and conditions to bring up 13th ton
Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, one of India’s greatest, was the last captain to win a toss and elect to bowl in a Kanpur Test. Pataudi opted to take the field against England in 1964. No team since then opted to bowl first in Kanpur that is until current India skipper Rohit Sharma in the ongoing second Test against Bangladesh.
Mominul calculative amid testing conditions
Bangladesh batter Mominul Haque stepped into a challenging situation after opener Zakir Hasan perished following a 24-ball duck, with Jasprit Bumrah leading the Indian attack and keeping a tight grip on the Bangladesh innings on the opening day of the second and final Test in Kanpur yesterday. As Mominul faced 14 deliveries without scoring, there was anxiety perhaps creeping in.
Test continuity in demand now
Bangladesh’s Test win at Mount Maunganui against the then World Test champions New Zealand in 2022 would certainly go down as a historic achievement in the Tigers’ history. But even Mominul Haque, the Tigers’ skipper back then, believes that winning a series away from home evokes a very different kind of feeling within the team than what a one-off win produces.

Shanto becomes 2nd Bangladesh batter to hit 2 tons in a Test
Mominul Haque, the batter who joined Shanto in the middle after Zakir’s dismissal, had the feat of scoring two centuries in the same Test. Mominul had scored 175 and 106 in the same Test against Sri Lanka in Chattogram back in 2018.
Mominul opts for duality of stance with eye on red-ball cricket
This time last year, Mominul Haque had just come back from South Africa as the Test captain and played a Dhaka Premier League match on the same day of his return, while harbouring hopes of taking the national team to the next level in Tests. One year later, Mominul is not the Test captain anymore. This time, Mominul’s team Rupganj Tigers played their last match of the Dhaka Premier League having finished just outside the top six. Scanning from outside the dressing room, Mominul appeared to be ‘well inside’ the hut. A call or two later, he would agree to a meetup for a minute’s talk which turned into a discussion on Test cricket.
