‘Even during the flood, I was running'

Having made his Test debut back in November 2018, Khaled Ahmed then played in another Test at Hamilton in 2019 before he found himself jolted by injury.

While he struggled at home conditions, he has been able to leave a mark with away performances. Khaled talks about the two captains he has played under so far in Tests, how his bowling tends to be at home and away from home, working with Donald and attending the ‘white-ball camp’ in Sylhet last month with The Daily Star’s Abdullah Al Mehdi.

Mominul opts for duality of stance with eye on red-ball cricket

This time last year, Mominul Haque had just come back from South Africa as the Test captain and played a Dhaka Premier League match on the same day of his return, while harbouring hopes of taking the national team to the next level in Tests. One year later, Mominul is not the Test captain anymore. This time, Mominul’s team Rupganj Tigers played their last match of the Dhaka Premier League having finished just outside the top six. Scanning from outside the dressing room, Mominul appeared to be ‘well inside’ the hut. A call or two later, he would agree to a meetup for a minute’s talk which turned into a discussion on Test cricket.
