The fourth day of the first Test between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in Sylhet on Monday was just about completing mere formality -- at least that’s what was ensured by the recklessness portrayed by Bangladesh batters the previous day.
Bangladesh national team players began their preparation for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka under head coach Chandika Hathurusingha on Monday even as majority of the stars are busy with BPL duties.
Two big knocks from Mominul Haque and Parvez Hossain Emon cemented East Zone in a commanding position against North Zone in Sylhet, while two gritty fifties from Naeem Islam and Mahidul Islam Ankon meant the Central Zone-South Zone encounter is nicely poised in Mirpur.
The Bangladesh cricket team had a long meeting yesterday regarding their batting and bowling display in the first Test against New Zealand. Head coach Chandika Hathurusingha believes they were guarded against complacency creeping in and senior players such as Mushfiqur Rahim and Mominul Haque had talked emotionally in the dressing room to send a message to the rest of the team.
Shamsur Rahman Shuvo hit 160 in the National Cricket League's third round as Sylhet Division dominated proceedings against Rangpur Division in a Tier 1 game at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna yesterday.
"The 2023 ODI World Cup is a big opportunity for us. There are a lot of senior stars in the team with many matches under their belt. The junior stars are performing regularly and the bowling line up is very good, especially pacers. In the Asia Cup, I am not thinking hard. I am expecting more from the World Cup," said Mominul
A thumping victory over Afghanistan in the one-off Test in Mirpur saw Bangladesh batters Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque gain significantly in the ICC Test batters rankings.
When Tests come as sporadically as they do for Bangladesh and when you are a one-format player passionate about Tests, getting into a groove can be difficult.
Mominul and Shanto have some similarities when it comes to dealing with criticism and overcoming tough periods in their career.

Mominul went more than two years without getting a Test century, having scored 11 hundreds in the first eight years of his Test career.
