When it comes to approaching Test cricket, which revolves around endurance and longevity of ideas, Bangladesh cricket often adopts short-term fixes.

Just as strong winds do not necessarily blow away all heavy sand sediments in a desert, the recent World Cup debacle has not really had any effect in terms of changing Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) mindset.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) appointed Mohsin Sheikh Pervaiz as the national team’s performance analyst for the New Zealand tour, the BCB confirmed to The Daily Star on Tuesday. 

From a young girl living in a fourth-class government employee quarters with her family, dreaming of playing international cricket, to becoming the national team's most reliable spinner, Nahida Akter's cricketing journey so far has been nothing short of inspirational.

Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) three-member special committee to investigate the World Cup debacle met with the Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha as the process of taking statements from players and people around the team continued.

Najmul Hossain Shanto will lead the team in both series in the absence of regular captain Shakib Al Hasan, who is still healing from an injury

Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha spoke highly of Najmul Hossain Shanto’s captaincy and leadership capabilities, hailing him as a strong contender to take the Tigers’ reins for the long term.

“If they win the series, they will get a big bonus, no doubt about that,” said the BCB president

Shanto and his troops began their third cycle of the World Tests Championship (WTC) with a 150-run win against the winners of the inaugural WTC.

In his first stint as on-field captain in a Test match, Najmul Hossain Shanto was able to leave his mark on yesterday’s proceedings, with especially how he rotated the bowlers and changed the field to match his team’s ploys against New Zealand batters.

Bangladesh spin bowling coach Rangana Herath acknowledged left-arm spinner Taijul Islam’s role as the leader of the team’s spin attack.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has formed a three-member special committee to look into the performance of the Bangladesh national team in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup India 2023, said a press release from the BCB.

An act of publicly taking the blame and responsibility, an initiation or indication of setting in motion an overhaul, or a statement of how things are to be taken from here on -- none of the aforementioned measures or steps were taken by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) even as over a fortnight passed since Bangladesh closed their disastrous World Cup campaign.

Former Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal came forward with a statement about his future, saying that he would wait till after the BPL to come to a conclusion.

“I told him [Tamim] whatever my decision is I will take it after the BPL.” Papon told reporters after his meeting with the opener.

Rachin Ravindra may still be basking on having taken the World Cup by storm, but the New Zealand all-rounder has the wind in his sails to put his red-ball career back on track against hosts Bangladesh, the same opponents who derailed it.

Following ICC World Cup debacle, the spotlight shifts to Test cricket for Bangladesh as they kick off the third cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC) with a two-match Test series against New Zealand, beginning November 28 in Sylhet.

Hasan Mahmud had a close shave with injury when batter Najmul Hossain Shanto hit one back at the bowler as Bangladesh began training today in Sylhet. Hasan, who could make his Test debut in the upcoming New Zealand series, was down holding his arm but recovered later to bowl at the nets again.

Taskin Ahmed had been suffering from a shoulder injury since Bangladesh’s tour of South Africa last year and the injury flared up during the World Cup in India.  The BCB has now decided to go for conservative treatment for Taskin and give him rest for four weeks.

Following a few days of non-activity at the BCB headquarters, yesterday’s proceedings drew some attention from the media, especially due to the presence of all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and head coach Chandika Hathurusingha..It was both Shakib and Hathurusingha’s first visit to Mirpur since
