Bangabandhu National Stadium

Tigers’ nostalgic return to old stomping ground

“This many people usually don’t turn up to see a fitness test at six in the morning. I’m sure they are here because it’s happening at the Bangabandhu [National] Stadium,” said Shahriar Nafees, the current cricket operations manager, after the national team’s fitness test at the famed venue yesterday.

Cricketers back at BNS

Bangladesh national team cricketers used the newly installed tracks at the Bangabandhu National Stadium (BNS) as part of a fitness drill ahead of the Tigers' home series against Zimbabwe next month. This was the first time in 19 years that the BNS has been used for any national cricketing activities since the country's cricket had moved to the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in 2005. About 35 cricketers, who are in and around the national side, took part in this fitness drill which was supervised by the national team strength & conditioning coach Nathan Kiely.

Bangabandhu National Stadium: An expensive facelift

The Bangabandhu National Stadium (BNS) was supposed to get a new look all around at the end of its biggest-ever renovation work in December, at a cost of 98 crore taka as per the original budget. But a budget increase of Tk 60 crore and delay in approval of the new budget means the project to renovate the country’s premier multi-purpose venue will likely take at least six more months from the original schedule to complete.

An intimate history of Bangladesh cricket

The information in the book was either in the public domain scattered everywhere, maturing in secret cellars or in somebody's heart never discussed in public. It needed a herculean teamwork of coordination and passion to present the game of cricket.
