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.

Taskin Ahmed and company are now savouring the pride of dismantling Australia on tracks with pace and bounce, sealing a five-wicket win in the second and penultimate One-Day International to clinch the series 2-0.

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.

Bangladesh had lost 12 of their 13 Tests against Pakistan before sealing a historic 2-0 series sweep in Rawalpindi in 2024. In a remarkable reversal, the Tigers can now sense a fourth consecutive Test victory over the same opponents after ending Day 2 of the second and final Test in Sylhet firmly in control yesterday.

After bowling Pakistan out for 232 and taking a 46-run first-innings lead, Bangladesh lost opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim early in their second innings.

The 31-year-old fast bowler's experience and quality remain indispensable to the Tigers.

Pakistan batter Imam-ul-Haq remarked after Day 2 of the first Test against Bangladesh that “the beauty of Tests is how there always remains a chance to bounce back.”

Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed has been recognised at the ESPNcricinfo Awards for the best bowling performance in men’s T20 franchise leagues in 2025.

Bangladesh’s ace pacer Taskin Ahmed last played an ODI in October last year. Since then he has been primarily playing T20s. Taskin today appeared in his first 50-over game in a while in the ongoing Bangladesh Cricket League (BCL) one-day tournament and returned figures of two for 46, bowling his full quota of overs.

There have been suggestions that the A-plus category may be scrapped altogether, but BCB officials have clarified that the category will remain.

Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed may play no further part in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) after missing Dhaka Capitals’ most recent match against Noakhali Express due to a knee injury.

As the world stepped into 2026, Bangladesh's leading sports figures struck a delicate balance between grief and grit, using the new year not merely for celebration, but for reflection, responsibility, and renewed ambition.

The Bangladesh pace duo is expected to return home on Thursday to join their respective Bangladesh Premier League T20 sides.

Taskin picked up two wickets against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, playing a key role as his team, Sharjah Warriorz, secured a four-wicket victory yesterday in Abu Dhabi.

By general consensus, the Lord's in London is regarded as the Mecca of cricket, but in terms of significance, the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) -- which hosted the first-ever Test -- isn't too far behind.

Middle-order batter Shamim Hossain and pacer Taskin Ahmed have been left out as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced its squad for the three-match T20 International series against Ireland.

The mood outside the dressing rooms at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Saturday evening told two very different stories. Sri Lanka’s Dushmantha Chameera and Wanindu Hasaranga emerged from the cramped elevator juggling their kit coffins, yet still found time for jokes and laughter. Moments later, Taskin Ahmed and Shamim Hossain followed, their faces drawn and smiles faint -- a reflection of Bangladesh’s bruising six-wicket defeat to the Lankans in their Asia Cup Group B encounter.

Bangladesh skipper Litton Das produced a timely return to form in Sylhet on Saturday, guiding his side to a commanding eight-wicket win over the Netherlands in the first T20I Taskin Ahmed the three-match series.

Netherlands head coach Ryan Cook did not mince words after his side’s lacklustre batting display in the opening T20I of the three-match series against Bangladesh, pointing to poor intent and an excessive number of dot balls as the main reasons behind their downfall in Sylhet on Saturday.

Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed picked up from where he had left off in the series against Pakistan, claiming 4-28 against Netherlands in the first of three T20Is to set up a convincing eight-wicket win for Bangladesh at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
