Soumya Sarkar

Stretchers, a collision and a concussion sub

Soumya won't be able to bat in the Bangladesh chase and the management has named Tanzid Hasan Tamim as his concussion substitute.

Bangladesh cricket’s Soumya fallacy

Soumya, a batter who is known for his inconsistency, becoming the fastest to reach 2000 ODI runs in the country highlights the subpar standard of Bangladesh cricket

Soumya and Liton ‘put their hands up’ on getting approach wrong in first T20I

Coach Hathurusingha said, “It’s not about this pair but correcting what we have done wrong in the past. 

Will the trials stop with Soumya-Liton?

Bangladesh have not had a stable opening pair in a while. Even looking at the records over the last two years, there have been 13 different opening pairs turning up for the Tigers. The need for a stable opening stand has been felt, especially as taking advantage of field restrictions is paramount to success in the shortest format of the game.

Bangladesh opener Soumya Sarkar said that he was confident that he had not edged the ball, clarifying why he never hesitated to review his initial caught-behind decision during the Tigers’ second T20I against Sri Lanka in Sylhet yesterday.

Bangladesh opener Soumya Sarkar showed glimpses of return to form in the second and third ODIs of the three-match series against New Zealand, but could not finish things off for his side due to a bizarre issue.

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said he would like to see more team effort rather than one or two individual performances in order to avoid another white-ball series whitewash against New Zealand.

Soumya answers critics, not think tank

Where would Soumya Sarkar be in the next game had he made another poor score, not the 169, against New Zealand in Nelson yesterday? That is the poignant question involving Bangladesh's cricket, viewed through Soumya as the prism.

It's really disappointing, says Shanto

A superb 169 off 151 balls from opener Soumya Sarkar was not enough to end Bangladesh's miserable ODI streak in New Zealand, where they have now lost all of their 18 previous 50-over matches against the Black Caps
