Mushtaq arrives in Mirpur 'to make a difference'

Bangladesh’s newly-appointed spin-bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed arrived at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium along with the rest of the coaching panel, including head coach Chandika Hathurusingha, who joined the Tigers camp following the Eid holidays. 

Sujon takes a sly dig at Hathurusingha

Bangladesh Cricket Board director Khaled Mahmud Sujon has said he does not want to be associated with the national team anymore in the future.

Contradiction even in assessment!

Bangladesh team’s assistant coach Nic Pothas yesterday said the Test team’s batting unit is going through a rebuilding stage and everyone needs to remain patient, a statement that contradicts what other important figures of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had said in the days prior.

Expect Liton to bring a lot more runs in red-ball cricket: Hathurusingha

Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha said that he would like Liton Das to get back to form and score a lot more runs in red-ball cricket, starting with the upcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka.

‘I felt Hathurusingha wanted to do a bit of dictatorship’

In Bangladesh cricket, team director appears to be a role only required in away series or major tournaments. Thus, Khaled Mahmud is now a former team director. He saw how the team fared in last year's ODI World Cup. The former national team captain in an exclusive interview with The Daily Star's Abdullah Al Mehdi, talked about recent controversy regarding things said in the World Cup probe report, his own role and about head coach Chandika Hathurusingha.

A Fizzy conundrum 

Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha was focused on helping an out-of-form Mustafizur Rahman come back to life in training at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram yesterday ahead of the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka starting on Wednesday. The left-arm pacer had an abysmal T20I series against the Lankans as he conceded 42, 42, and 47 runs in the three matches respectively while bagging just two wickets at an economy rate of 10.91 which did little to justify his pedigree as a white-ball specialist.  Photos: BCB

‘Tigers in a position to change history’

A first-time T20I series win against Sri Lanka beckons Bangladesh going into the third and final T20I at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today. Having drawn the series level with an eight-wicket win in the second match, coach Chandika Hathurusingha found plenty to be pleased about, especially on top-order approach and death bowling.

One eye on WC as Tigers begin NZ T20s

Even though the Tigers conceded the preceding three-match ODI series 2-1, a thumping nine-wicket win in the final ODI saw the Tigers end an 18-ODI losing streak in New Zealand. Hence, it is no surprise that a positive ambiance prevails in the Bangladesh camp as they prepare for the T20I series.
