Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) vice-president Faruque Ahmed said that the board would not ‘stop functioning’ even though two of its directors recently resigned amid the ongoing crisis faced by the Aminul Islam Bulbul-led board.

India will host Australia in a high-profile five-Test series starting January next year to end the 2026/27 home season, the country's cricket board announced on Thursday.

For years, all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and pacer Mustafizur Rahman were Bangladesh’s only regulars in franchise-based T20 leagues around the world before leg-spinner Rishad Hossain joined their ranks with recent appearances in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and Big Bash League (BBL).

Bangladesh T20I team all-rounder Shamim Hossain was batting to throwdowns yesterday evening at Mirpur’s Academy Ground, seemingly going through his motions.

The move is aimed at decentralising the selection process and creating a sense of ownership at the regional level.

"Means everything and pinch-me moment to play for your country. Special feeling and humbling," said player of the series Esterhuizen.

A quartet of New Zealand pacers have been rewarded for strong performances on the latest update to the ICC Men's T20I Bowler Rankings.

An out-of-favour Jonny Bairstow has joined former teammate Liam Livingstone in criticising the level of care shown by the England hierarchy to some of the players and is looking forward to the English board rebuilding bridges with county cricket.

The former England opener questioned ECB Chief Executive Richard Gould’s credentials and said the "incompetent" Key and McCullum had "sabotaged" England’s Ashes campaign.

The 31-year-old, who scored 202 runs at an average of 20.20 during the Ashes, was bought by Delhi Capitals for 20 million rupees ($213,167) at the auction.

With Bangladesh set for a hectic schedule in the coming months, newly appointed Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chief selector Habibul Bashar said he aims to expand the player pool.

One of the country’s most consistent domestic performers, the 39-year-old spoke about his shift to selection, his goals in the new role, and the need for greater transparency.

A consortium of investors, including US asset management giant Blackstone, on Tuesday announced the takeover of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), one of the founding clubs of Indian Premier League, for nearly $1.8 billion.

Eleven supporters aged between 14 and 29 died in a stampede outside the stadium in June after RCB won the IPL for the first time.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Monday appointed former captain Habibul Bashar as new chief selector in a four-member selection panel.

Stokes, in an emotional Instagram post, said he was determined to learn from his mistakes following the lowest period of his near four-year spell as England captain, with Key and McCullum still the right men to be alongside him.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) director Amzad Hussain has resigned from his position, he informed during a media briefing on Monday.

Ben Stokes's men were hammered 4-1 on their five-Test tour of Australia, which started in November and ended in January.

Based on assurances received from the Bangladesh Mission in Islamabad, BCB stated that there are no prevailing security or safety concerns for players set to represent various franchises in the tournament.

The tenure of the new selection panel will run until the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in Africa in October-November 2027.
