Galle Test blog / Shanto, Mushfiqur steer Bangladesh to 187-run lead at stumps

Bangladesh ended the penultimate day of the Galle Test as the happier of the two sides thanks to opener Shadman Islam's 76 and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto's unbeaten 56 as the visitors have reached 177-3 at stumps to lead Sri Lanka by 187 runs heading into the final day.

‘Ignore Nahid Rana’: Hasan pokes fun at young quick

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.

Rishad and Hasan join Mahedi in T20I rankings surge

Rishad climbed a whopping 21 spots to 17th, while Hasan Mahmud rose of 23 places to 24th, indicating that the Tigers bowling arsenal in the shortest format have the versatility to challenge the top teams in future.

Opinion / Hasan Mahmud's comical U-turn

Once a fierce critic of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), former Foreign Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud now finds himself in an unexpected role, praising his former rivals.

‘It would have been even better if I bowled from both ends’

Bangladesh’s Hasan Mahmud was picked as the lone pacer in the first Test against South Africa in at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. 

Bangladesh move backwards strategically

There was no way for Bangladesh to make up for a very poor batting performance, bowled out for 106 against South Africa in the first Test in Mirpur, but spinner Taijul Islam's fifer sort of came pretty close to making up for the batting debacle on Monday. But in terms of strategical standpoints or how Test cricket should be approached, Bangladesh once again appear to be going backwards.

Hasan’s fifer matches his ‘potential’

He also became the second Bangladesh pacer after Robiul Islam to bag back-to-back fifers in consecutive Tests.

Hasan becomes first Bangladesh bowler to pick five-for in India Tests

Hasan eclipsed the figures of four for 108 by pacer Abu Jahed Rahi, registered during a Test in Indore in 2019.

Hasan earns Chepauk’s admiration through simplicity

When he arrived in Chennai for the first Test against India yesterday, Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud’s Test career was three matches old. From an unknown entity to earning the appreciation of the proud cricket-loving fans of Chennai, Hasan has certainly created a mini ripple.
