Nazmul Abedeen Fahim, a revered figure in the sporting fraternity and a mentor of many cricketers here, once closely monitored women's cricket as its wing development manager. The veteran coach identified some vital issues that the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) should give highest priority in order to ensure proper growth of women's cricket in the country. The excerpts of his observations are as follows:

Despite showing huge potential after winning the Women's Asia Cup in 2018, the Bangladesh national cricket team were unable to capitalise on the triumph to take things to the next level. The Daily Star's Ekush Tapader spoke to the chairman of the Bangladesh Cricket Board's women's wing, Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel, to get an overview of the women cricketers, their current state and the future plan regarding them during an exclusive interview. The excerpts of the interview are as follows:

The 2018 Asia Cup triumph was a watershed moment for women's cricket. It turned heads, showed that women cricketers in the country can bring glory to the nation despite taking a backseat to the men's game in terms of the magnitude of facilities, fan following, and so forth. Five years on, there is a certain stagnation with little progress.

Former South Africa batter Nic Pothas was appointed assistant coach of Bangladesh and deputy to head coach Chandika Hathurusingha and, with the Sri Lankan still on vacation, Pothas has been overseeing the Tigers' training camp. In his first interaction with the media, he joked about having a magic wand that could fix Test batting woes.

One lucky punter who believed 14 years ago that Josh Tongue would one day play for England and placed a cheeky bet will win 50,000 pounds ($63,000) when the fast bowler makes his international debut against Ireland on Thursday.

“We expect these young cricketers to come in, and suddenly be world-beaters just like that. It is not possible. He (Towhid) has a lot of potential and a desire to learn. He has a high work ethic. I am excited for what he can do,” said Pothas.
