Bangladesh pacer Rubel Hossain has returned to the Test squad after missing out on the Hyderabad Test against India.

Six Bangladeshi cricketers remained unsold in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 players' auction at Bangalore today.

Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman is expected to make a comeback into Bangladesh's Test squad for the Sri Lanka series.

Bangladesh Cricketers Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman are set to miss initial phase of the Indian Premier League which begins on April 5.

Mustafizur Rahman finished with figures of 18-7-34-1 in the first innings, followed by 13-6-13-1 in the second innings in the just-concluded third-round match of the Bangladesh Cricket League at the Fatullah Cricket Stadium. He did not take many wickets but was economical.

Left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman will play the third round of the Bangladesh Cricket League starting from today.

The Indian cricket team reached Hyderabad yesterday for the one-off Test against Bangladesh to be played from February 9 and batsman Cheteshwar Pujara said that while the visiting team cannot be taken lightly the home team would like to maintain its number one ranking in the world.

They say cricket is a funny game and the current situation of the Bangladesh team perhaps best depicts that phrase.

Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim on Thursday admitted it will be a challenge to face spin twins Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja when they take on India in the one-off Test in Hyderabad.

It's a tour that has been described as a historic one by various sporting pundits of the nation. It will only last for around 10 days, but the implication of this series could last for a longer period.

Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman will not be playing in the one–off Test against India set to take place in Hyderabad on 9 February.

Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha said before leaving New Zealand that it would take only 10 minutes to make a squad for the one-off Test against India once he gets the update reports of his three injured players.

Cricket sensation Mustafizur Rahman and South Asian Games' double-gold medallist swimmer Mahfuza Khatun Shila won the sportsperson of the year award for 2015 and 2016 respectively in the Kool-BSPA Sports Award held at a hotel in the capital yesterday.

Bangladesh's pace sensation Mustafizur Rahman remained an almost forgotten member in the team during Bangladesh's two Tests against New Zealand.

Mominul Haque, along with Mushfiqur Rahim and Imrul Kayes, has also been ruled out of the second Test in Christchurch against New Zealand, which begins on Friday. In the absence of Mushfiqur, Tamim Iqbal will lead the side and Shakib Al Hasan has been named his deputy.

Bangladesh selectors have kept their faith in the 15-man squad for the first Test as they announced the unchanged squad for the second Test today.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board announced 30-man preliminary squad for the tours of India and Sri Lanka this year today.

Good news for Bangladesh. Opener Tamim Iqbal will play the opening Test that starts at the Basin Reserve in Wellington tomorrow.

New Zealand's players, in individual terms, would be smart not to simply write Bangladesh off as no-hope lightweights. Banana skins abound. They are not without talent and they are learning.

The Bangladesh cricket team in New Zealand have already been having a tough time of it with the six limited-overs games being lost by hefty margins.
