Initial reports suggested Rana could need two to three weeks to recover, casting doubt over his availability for the first Test in Australia, beginning on August 13.

Having already conceded the series after losing the opening two matches, the visitors produced a clinical all-round display to finish the series on a positive note.

The game looked done and dusted, but Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam knows how to seize an opportunity.

Cooper Connolly struck a sensational maiden ODI century as Australia survived a dramatic late scare to edge Bangladesh by one wicket in the third and final ODI at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Sunday.

Bangladesh recently completed a narrow 2-1 series triumph over New Zealand at home and it was their quicks that did the damage across the three-game series.

At home or away, including the recent Pakistan series, the pace unit has delivered consistently.

As of now, Mustafizur Rahman sits among the top eight wicket-takers, while Nahid boasts the fifth-best strike rate and third-best average among bowlers who have delivered at least 10 overs.

Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam has joined fellow Tigers quick Nahid Rana at Peshawar Zalmi for the 11th season of the Pakistan Super League, scheduled to run from March 26 to May 3.

Bangladesh cricketers have been enjoying a rare extended time off after the Odommo Bangladesh T20 Cup, which ended on February 9. While the pangs of missing out on the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka is still raw, most of the players are using this break to spend time with family. One of them, the 24-year-old speedster Shoriful Islam, talked to The Daily Star’s Abdullah Al Mehdi about the ongoing World Cup and how he is spending time away from cricket during an exclusive interview.

Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam chose to focus on performance rather than speculation as questions surrounding Bangladesh’s imminent withdrawal from the upcoming T20 World Cup dominated the post-match press conference on Friday night.

Both players picked up injuries during Friday's T20I against the West Indies in Chattogram, with Sohan twisting his right ankle and Shoriful suffering a right hamstring strain.

Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Nurul Hasan Sohan was taken to a nearby hospital for an X-ray after twisting his ankle during the third and final T20I against the West Indies in Chattogram on Friday.

Bangladesh middle-order batter Jaker Ali said he focused on taking the game deep and waiting for deliveries in his hitting zone, following a match-defining half-century that guided the Tigers to a historic T20I series win over Pakistan.

Bangladesh are unlikely to get the services of pacer Taskin Ahmed in the limited-over part of their upcoming full tour of Sri Lanka, as according to a Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) physician, the board will only review his case after this month.

Bangladesh cricketers wished fans a happy Eid as the Muslim community of the country celebrates Eid-ul-Adha today.

Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam will not be available for tomorrow’s third and final T20I against Pakistan and will be out of action for at least two weeks due to a muscle injury, a Bangladesh Cricket Board press release confirmed today. 

A dramatic last-ball boundary shattered Khulna Tigers' Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) campaign to a heartbreaking end on Thursday. Yet, head coach Talha Jubair deserves credit for guiding a team lacking star power to the penultimate hurdle, marking another chapter in the former national pacer's coaching journey. The 39-year-old spoke to The Daily Star’s Samsul Arefin Khan about why he prefers being a bowling coach, the evolution of Bangladesh’s pace bowling and more. Here are the excerpts from the interview:

This will be the first time in 18 years that Bangladesh will play in an ICC event without both Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan

It has been smooth sailing for the West Indies in chase of Bangladesh's 227 in the second ODI at Warner Park in St. Kitts. Brandon King hit a 52-ball 50, his seventh ODI fifty while Evin Lewis also looked determined as West Indies reached 100 without loss in 19 overs.

Getting some extra bounce -- that’s what Bangladesh pacers were seemingly after during their previous Test tour of the West Indies in 2022.
