Bashar prescribes more domestic matches for Tigers’ top-order
Habibul Bashar, former men's team selector and now women's cricket's operational head, feels that men's team players are not used to the kinds of wicket served in the first Test at Sylhet and should play more domestic matches to overcome their issues.
Tigers’ chance to cap off 2023 in style
Although rain had the last laugh in the second T20I between Bangladesh and New Zealand in Mount Maunganui as the match was called off with the hosts on 72 for two in 11 overs yesterday, it eventually ensured that the Tigers would end the series with an achievement they never experienced before.
Moving on to right path finally?
If Bangladesh are not to not find sombre answers to this then they might need to act on what Pothas said, especially on the part where he mentioned "leaving the team alone" in order to let the players keep on "just playing".

Team comes first for Shakib
He also said why taking Tamim would have been a difficult proposition for him. “When I don’t know whether someone is playing the third game or the seventh game and I will only know in the morning of the game, then it’s difficult for me to select the team.
We have to look forward, says Bangladesh team director Sujon
“I request everybody to keep faith in this team. We have a very exciting team with a blend of youth and experience. We have a dream and we have to materialise it. I believe everybody will try their best to uplift the image of the country,” said Khaled Mahmud.
Tigers ready Tamim’s back-up just in case
"I'm not going to discuss somebody's medical history here but he [Tamim] has trained the last two days and he's good so far. We're closely monitoring his progress as well as how he recovers after training. He is training as usual," the head coach relayed during the press conference.
‘I feel it’s better to not captain anymore’
"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

'I realised my mistakes and worked on them'
"I worked a lot on mental aspects and also on strength training in the gym. My eating habits were not proper so I tried to maintain a disciplined life and follow a process overall. I won't say I did it a hundred per cent but I am trying to maintain that standard which is required if I really want to compete at the top-level, by which I mean international cricket. When you can properly maintain these aspects, there are greater chances of success," said Naim
Which strengths to focus on for next Afghanistan Test?
The Tigers do not have happy memories of hosting Afghanistan in lone Tests. Afghanistan had won by a mammoth 224 runs the maiden Test between the two countries in Chattogram as Bangladesh’s plans backfired.

Fizz, Shanto snatch victory as Tigers prevail
“If I tell you we had the belief we'd win, I'd be lying. But cricket is a funny game, wickets fall and scoreboard pressure is bad to have. When the Fizz got two wickets, we thought we had a chance,” skipper Tamim Iqbal conceded at post-match ceremony and that is how close it was.
