The postponement was confirmed on November 18, when Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) director Abdur Razzak told The Daily Star that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had informed them of the decision via email.

In Thursday’s 39-run loss to Ireland in the first of three T20Is, every Bangladesh batter except Hridoy came under heavy fire.

Cummins has not played since picking up a lower back injury against the West Indies four months ago.

Last year, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) introduced the T20 iteration of the National Cricket League (NCL) to expose domestic players to competitive T20 cricket and help Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) franchises identify local talent.

Bangladesh’s 39-run defeat to Ireland in the first T20I in Chattogram raised fresh questions about the team’s form, but Tawhid Hridoy’s post-match remarks drew just as much attention as his unbeaten 82 off 50 balls.

A little while after Bangladesh lost the first T20I against Ireland in Chattogram, Tawhid Hridoy slowly walked into the press conference. He had just played the best T20I innings of his career, but it had no impact on the team’s fate.

The tournament will now begin on December 26, instead of the previously announced December 19.

With the 12th edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20 fast approaching, the six participating franchises have already begun assembling their squads and finalising their coaching and managerial setups.

Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl first in the first of three T20Is against Ireland in Chattogram today.

The unraveling of India’s home dominance began last year when New Zealand stunned them 3-0, ending a 12-year unbeaten streak.

Australia's Ashes match-winner Travis Head said he was wary of inciting England's fast bowlers as he slogged his way to a stunning century in the first Test in Perth.

Batting great Sunil Gavaskar has called for a "post-mortem" into India Test cricket after their aura of home invincibility was blown away by a second series whitewash in 12 months.

A day before the start of an international series, Bangladesh T20I captain Litton Das drags the selectors into the dock and expresses deep dissatisfaction with the cricket operations department’s policies. Even though such drama becomes material for the media ahead of a low-profile series, for any team or cricket board, it’s an uncomfortable scene. 

Under the governing body's four-tier rating system "very good" is the highest possible, characterising a pitch with "good carry, limited seam movement, and consistent bounce early in the match".

The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) governing council promised a unique 12th edition, and that promise appears to be upheld -- but only because all the wrong elements are present.

As Bangladesh take on Ireland in the first of three T20Is in Chattogram today -- their final international assignment before next year's ICC T20 World Cup -- a dispute between skipper Litton Das and chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu over the omission of Shamim Hossain has overshadowed the game and taken centre-stage.

A collective effort, boosted by several individual moments of brilliance, saw South Africa hand India a record defeat in the second Test to complete a series sweep on Day 5 in Guwahati on Wednesday.

Bangladesh T20I skipper Litton Das has expressed strong frustration over Shamim’s exclusion, claiming it occurred without any prior communication from the selectors or the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).

Skipper Temba Bavuma said his South Africa team had written their names in history after romping to a 2-0 Test whitewash in India on Wednesday.
