A dramatic last-ball boundary shattered Khulna Tigers' Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) campaign to a heartbreaking end on Thursday. Yet, head coach Talha Jubair deserves credit for guiding a team lacking star power to the penultimate hurdle, marking another chapter in the former national pacer's coaching journey. The 39-year-old spoke to The Daily Star’s Samsul Arefin Khan about why he prefers being a bowling coach, the evolution of Bangladesh’s pace bowling and more. Here are the excerpts from the interview:
Pacer Ripon Mondol received a call-up and Shamim Hossain made a return as Bangladesh Cricket Board announced a 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against the West Indies in Kingstown, St Vincent on 16, 18 and 20 December.
Ripon Mondol picked up three wickets and Jishan Alam hit a half-century as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) High Performance Unit defeated Australian Capital Territory (ACT) by six wickets, notching up their second win in the Top End T20 series at the TIO Stadium in Darwin, Australia today.
Ripon claimed 4-71 while Rejaur took 3-33, helping the HP Unit earn a 79-run first innings lead.
