Bangladesh ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan appears to be suffering from a finger issue and has been bowling less than usual as a result of it in the ongoing Test match against India in Chennai.

Bangladesh lost four wickets in the last session before bad light put an early end to the day's play as the visitors have reached 158-4 at stumps on Day 3 of the first Test against India chasing a mammoth 515 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai today.

Shakib Al Hasan became the oldest Bangladeshi cricketer ever to feature in a Test when the premier all-rounder stepped onto the field on Day 3 of the Tigers' first Test against India in Chennai today.

Claiming that the second day of the Chennai Test between Bangladesh and India yesterday was almost evenly matched may seem absurd, but this notion is not totally out of place, at least in one department.

Afghanistan registered another emphatic victory over South Africa on Friday, beating them by 177 runs in the second one-day international to take an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series in Sharjah.

Near the end of second day's play in the Chennai Test, Shakib Al Hasan was squatting at the bowling crease in between deliveries to possibly relax his tired legs. Bangladesh had bowled in the morning session and removed the India tail with relative ease but were then themselves dispatched in 47 overs, leading to another day in the field -- this time under the hot Chennai sun.

Dinesh Chandimal and Dimuth Karunaratne forged a 147-run partnership to propel hosts Sri Lanka to a lead of 202 on day three of the first Test against New Zealand on Friday.

Pakistan's cricket board on Friday announced a revised schedule for a series it will hold against England next month, ending weeks of uncertainty including reports it could be moved abroad.

He also became the second Bangladesh pacer after Robiul Islam to bag back-to-back fifers in consecutive Tests.

Hasan eclipsed the figures of four for 108 by pacer Abu Jahed Rahi, registered during a Test in Indore in 2019.

The Tigers started the second day with authority, bundling India out for 376, but the batting did not complement.

Travis Head's superb career-best 154 not out saw depleted world champions Australia to a seven-wicket win over England in the first one-day international at Trent Bridge on Thursday.

Hasan Mahmud’s incredible showing nearly made the opening day of the Chennai Test Bangladesh’s but after the fightback in the final session from India’s Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, the visitors are need of a ‘comeback’ on the second day.

When he arrived in Chennai for the first Test against India yesterday, Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud’s Test career was three matches old. From an unknown entity to earning the appreciation of the proud cricket-loving fans of Chennai, Hasan has certainly created a mini ripple.

Ashwin said his recent stint with the Dindigul Dragons in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) helped him figure out a way to score runs.

Bangladesh Women’s A team bowlers stood out in the final T20 of the five-match series against Sri Lankan A to help their side register an eight-wicket win and clinch a 4-1 series win at the Colts in Colombo today.

Half-centuries from Tom Latham and Kane Williamson put New Zealand at 255-4 and in hot pursuit of Sri Lanka on day two of the first Test on Thursday.

Three years since his last Test hundred, which also came at the very same venue, Ravichandran Ashwin cracked his sixth Test hundred to lift India from the gloom on day one of the first Test against Bangladesh.

After their dominance in Pakistan, Bangladesh pacers held their own in the first two sessions of the first Test against India in Chennai today. Pacer Hasan Mahmud was in the heart of it, picking four of the six wickets to fall after Bangladesh had opted to field at MA Chidambaram Stadium.
