Mustafizur Rahman has been retained by Dubai Capitals for the upcoming edition of the UAE’s ILT20, giving the Bangladesh pacer another opportunity to play for a franchise owned by an Indian Premier League team.

Imagine Mustafizur Rahman giving a dressing room speech and asking for improvement, not just from the batters but also in their overall mentality. That is exactly what happened in the Bangladesh dressing room after sealing their maiden series win against Australia on Thursday.

Bangladesh made Australia enter the record books for the wrong reasons on Thursday morning in Mirpur, as they lost three frontline batters without scoring a run for the first time in ODIs.
