The NBR has published the names of 141 individuals and companies as the top taxpayers for the 2022-23 tax year. A gazette has also been published to this effect. 

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.

Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been included in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) draft, PSL authorities confirmed through a message on their X account (formerly Twitter).

When it comes to sports, including our beloved cricket, our women always get the short end of the stick.

One of the best prepared ODI teams in the history of Bangladesh cricket could only muster two wins against the best in the world.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) media committee chairman Tanvir Islam Tito yesterday seemed to have fortified the board's apparent confusion in identifying elements causing the national team's World Cup fiasco with a baffling statement pointing at the media.

From aspirations of making it to their maiden semifinal to barely qualifying for the 2025 Champions Trophy with an eighth-placed finish, Bangladesh’s World Cup dream has fluctuated as wildly as its tumultuous state of affairs. 

'They have let the nation down big time and the buck must stop with them'

“I would say in hindsight, Tamim’s experience at the top would have probably benefited us,” Shrinivas told The Daily Star

Bangladesh has had what can be said to be their worst World Cup campaign as of yet.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) wants clarity over the future plans of Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal.

“We are going through a  tough period. I would ask you all to support the team as much as possible in these difficult times,” Tamim said.

The last time Bangladesh played in Dharamshala was back in 2016 during the ICC T20 World Cup. In that match against Oman, Tamim Iqbal made history by becoming the first Bangladeshi to score a century in the format. Even though Tamim is not a part of this World Cup campaign but, thanks to the fans, his presence was felt at the picturesque Dharamshala stadium during Bangladesh’s match yesterday. A number of Bangladesh supporters in the gallery were seen holding up a placard written, ‘We will never forget you’ with Tamim’s picture, reminiscing the contributions of the former Bangladesh captain.

On Friday, after Mehedi Hasan Miraz came out for the toss for Bangladesh’s warm-up match against Sri Lanka in Guwahati, naturally the viewers started to wonder where Shakib Al Hasan was.

Who is to blame for the unpleasant episode between the two stalwarts?

Bangladesh team director Khaled Mahmud felt the team need to focus on having a good World Cup and let go of whatever had transpired during the squad-selection announcement and the subsequent feud between Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan.

The arguments breaking out on social media and in real life about the Shakib-Tamim saga have already been quite toxic.

The Bangladesh team will play their second warm-up match against England today before moving to Dharamsala, where they will play their first match of the World Cup against Afghanistan on October 7.
