Mominul Haque
BPL 2025 Players Draft: Full squads
The draft for the 11th edition of the Bangladesh Premier League was completed on Monday as all seven teams had a busy day trying to sign their desired players to make the best possible side to clinch the tournament which starts on December 27.
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.
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.
Mushfiqur, Mominul to tour Pakistan with Bangladesh A
Bangladesh Cricket Board announced separate squads for its forthcoming Pakistan tour.
Decision to play 'A' team’s Pak tour left to Mominul and Mushfiqur
The national team stars, who are not playing franchise cricket outside the country, will join Bangladesh Tigers or partake in individual sessions following their break as per team management’s plans as the focus shifts back to red-ball cricket with the two-Test tour to Pakistan in August coming up.
Shakib alludes to dropping batters for not performing
Bangladesh Test skipper Shakib Al Hasan said he had no explanation for the batting debacles after Bangladesh were bowled out for just 103 runs in 32.5 overs on day one of the first Test at Antigua against the West Indies.
No. 3 and 4 key to Tigers’ batting stability
Ahead of Bangladesh’s two-Test series against the West Indies, all eyes were on the Tigers’ top-order in their three-day warm-up game against CWI President’s XI in Antigua that concluded yesterday. However, other than Tamim Iqbal’s unbeaten 162, there weren’t many highlights for the Tigers in the batting department.
Ton-up Tamim bats entire day in warm-up
Bangladesh’s star opener Tamim Iqbal hit a hundred, but struggling left-handed batter Mominul Haque could not even open his account on the opening day of their ongoing three-day warm-up match against CWI President’s XI at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua today.
Shakib becomes Test captain, Liton his deputy
Bangladesh star cricketer Shakib Al Hasan is back to being the captain of the Bangladesh Test side while the in-form wicketkeeper-batter Liton Das is set to be the vice-captain, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan made the announcement during a press conference following a board meeting today.
‘Shakib says that he enjoys Tests more than other formats’
Bangladesh team director Khaled Mahmud said that Shakib Al Hasan was keener on playing Tests now that other formats.
What 'process' behind Mominul’s U-turn in 47 days?
Bangladesh cricketer Mominul Haque's declaration to quit Test captaincy may not have shocked the cricketing fraternity, given his persisting off-form with the bat. However, those who have been following what Mominul had said of late, would know that the decision does guarantee a few raised eyebrows.
The question is who’s next?
In a normal cricket culture, this would not be an issue. Especially when a Test captain wants to resign, it is the captain who asks for the decision to be either made public or makes the announcement himself, preferably in a press conference in an official setting.
Mominul wants to quit Test captaincy
Bangladesh Test captain Mominul has decided to step down from his role as captain to focus on his batting, Mominul told the media today following a meeting at the BCB president Nazmul Hassan’s residence.
‘The answer is there to see’
There was not any significant difference between hosts Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in terms of international experience as the two subcontinental rivals locked horns in a two-match Test series within the past two weeks.
Papon ‘not worried’ about Mominul’s captaincy
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon backed the Bangladesh Test captain Mominul Haque and said that his captaincy is not something the management is worried about.
