Nahid Rana: A golden goose worth taking care of

One of Aesop's renowned fables, 'The goose that laid the golden egg', imparts a timeless lesson: too much greed can ruin one's fortune. It also highlights the value of patience -- a virtue the Bangladesh Cricket Board could embrace to nurture the immense potential of one of their brightest prospects, Nahid Rana.

Workload management key for Nahid to excel

The workload management of Nahid Rana, Bangladesh’s fastest bowler, will be key in the coming days to keep the 22-year-old away from burnout and injuries, experts have said. 

Fiery Rana keeps things simple

Nahid, Nasum set to join Tigers in UAE tomorrow

Bangladesh will be bolstered by the presence of pacer Nahid Rana and left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed for the second ODI of the ongoing three-match series against Afghanistan as both cricketers are set to travel to the UAE tomorrow on a 10:00 am flight after receiving their visas on Wednesday.

‘I’m not worried about losing my place’

Bangladesh’s all-format pacer Shoriful Islam witnessed a few ups and downs this year due to injuries. The 23-year-old pacer hurt his finger during a warm-up match before the ICC T20 World Cup. Although he had recovered and was available for selection from the second match, he ended up warming the benches for the whole tournament.
