Bangladesh batter Mominul Haque said the Tigers are aiming for a 300-run target, though they would settle for a slightly lower total after bad light brought an early end to Day 3 of the first Test against Zimbabwe in Sylhet on Tuesday.
Bangladesh cricketers joined a camp in Sylhet today ahead of their two-Test home series against Zimbabwe, starting with the first game at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on April 20. The Tigers’ jovial mood on the first day of their camp was reflected through a post from pacer Hasan Mahmud on his official Facebook page. The post that included a picture of seven of the 10 players who joined the camp so far was captioned, ‘Ignore Nahid Rana’. Hasan was apparently poking fun at Nahid, who was the odd one out in the picture as the right-arm quick was the only one to be looking away from the camera.
Mominul Haque departed for a six-ball duck in the opening day of Bangladesh’s second Test against West Indies yesterday and in the process also registered an ignominious record.
The 11th edition of the Bangladesh Premier League is set to begin from December 30 with the game between Fortune Barishal and Durbar Rajshahi at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. Here, we present you the updated squad list of all seven franchises.
As someone who has often struggled for consistency, Mominul applied himself better than the rest of the Bangladesh batters.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
The Dhaka Premier League continues its exciting run as the fifth round began with a couple of upsets and some noteworthy individual performances.
In the highest scoring match of the day, Victoria Sporting Club pile up 270 for 3 on the back of Mominul Haque’s maiden ton in the ongoing DPL after Prime Doleshwar Sporting Club captain Farhad Reza elected to field first at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium, Fatullah.
A century by former national opener Anamul Haque takes Gazi Group Cricketers to victory over a misfiring Cricket Coaching School, an all-round show from Victoria Sporting Club eclipses a fighting total from Kalabagan Cricket Academy, while the third match between Mohammedan SC and Rupganj is postponed to the reserve day because of a wet outfield.
A last-ball six that produced a tie, a return to form for Mushfiqur Rahim, and a thumping defeat for a newcomer. Here is the wrap of the day's Dhaka Premier League matches.
Mominul Haque will lead a strong Bangladesh A team for their tour to India later this month.
