The Bangladesh team has already resigned to its fate in the ongoing ODI World Cup..Almost nothing has gone right for the Tigers in the tournament and after suffering six comprehensive defeats on the trot, the players find themselves at the bottom of a pit of despair.
Bangladesh batter Najmul Hossain Shanto recorded the highest score as players underwent the Yo-Yo fitness at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) yesterday revealed the much-awaited fixtures of the upcoming ODI World Cup in India, set to begin from October 5.
20-year-old Mushfik Hasan's call-up to the national squad for the one-off Test against Afghanistan was a bit surprising, but those who can recall his recent domestic performances will know the right-arm pacer has a knack for troubling batters of calibre. Pacers across the country were terrorising batters in the last National Cricket League but Mushfik's performances appeared to have a statement of intent about them.
Shoriful Islam has been a part of Bangladesh's confident pace-bowling unit that has been improving leaps and bounds in recent years. The left-arm seamer has emerged as a multi-format pacer for the Tigers since making his debut in 2021 and spoke to The Daily Star's Mazhar Uddin about his bowling and a few other topics during an exclusive interview. The excerpts are below:
The number seven spot in Bangladesh's batting order has come into focus ahead of the World Cup, with several players vying for the important position. The experienced Mahmudullah Riyad is waiting in the wings alongside younger stars like Afif Hossain, Yasir Ali and Mosaddek Hossain.
There is not a whole lot of information related to the ODI World Cup’s scheduling, slated to be played this year in India, which may be a mere annoying for fans looking to catch up on the action. But it has become an issue for the teams given the impact it has on their preparations and plans for the tournament.
Bangladesh are gearing up for the second ODI against Ireland in Chelmsford today after the first ODI was abandoned due to inclement weather and while rain remains a concern, the conditions allow the new ball to move quite a bit and provide extra bounce on the surface. Even if it proves difficult for the top-order, pacer Shoriful Islam was enjoying the experience and the challenge.
Bangladesh speedster Taskin Ahmed, who is recovering from his injury, is expected to start bowling in low intensity within the next week and hopes to make his return in the home series against Afghanistan next month, the 28-year-old revealed to the media on Tuesday.

It took six years, 106 matches, and 95 innings but Afif Hossain finally managed to strike his maiden List A century as he scored an unbeaten 111 to help set up a 42-run win for Abahani over Prime Bank Cricket Club at the Fatullah Stadium on Thursday in the ongoing season of the Dhaka Premier League.
