The ice on the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) status quo is breaking after a fruitful meeting between clubs and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Thursday evening.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Thursday announced the revised starting times for the upcoming three ODIs and three T20Is against New Zealand at home, which was changed in alignment with the government’s energy austerity measures.

The previous best was held by Bhutan’s Sonam Yeshey, who claimed eight wickets for just seven runs against Myanmar in a Men's T20I in 2025.

“Bangladesh’s biggest circus is the cricket board, and the ones around it,” former Bangladesh cricketer Aftab Ahmed said in a video posted on his official Facebook page on Wednesday.

Jos Buttler has been around long enough to know it usually takes perseverance to bring a run drought to an end and the Gujarat batter's resolve was finally rewarded with a stellar knock in the Titans' win over Delhi Capitals on Wednesday.

The Cricketers Welfare Association of Bangladesh (CWAB) has applauded the decision of the ad hoc committee of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to increase match fees and monthly remuneration for male and female cricketers.

For leg-spinners, confidence is not just helpful—it is everything. Their craft lives in risk, deception, and instinct. When the mind wavers, so does the ball.

Appointments should prioritise expertise, not partisan stance

Gujarat won by one run to bounce back from two defeats. Delhi suffered their first loss after two wins.

The latest developments surrounding Bangladesh cricket and the newly formed ad hoc committee of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) raise a familiar, uncomfortable question: will the dream of a politics-free sports arena ever move beyond being a hollow slogan?

The 11-member ad hoc committee of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), led by Tamim Iqbal, on Wednesday announced a significant increase in women cricketers’ domestic match fees, among several key decisions taken at its first official meeting -- held a day after assuming charge following the dissolution of the Aminul Islam Bulbul-led board.

Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu has no plans of drawing curtains to a glorious international career anytime soon.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was hailed as "amazing" and "fearless" after the 15-year-old underlined his rare talent with an audacious display against superstar Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah in the IPL.

“We strongly feel that our first task is to restore the reputation of Bangladesh cricket."

Jaiswal, who hit an unbeaten 77, and fellow left-hander Sooryavanshi, who struck 39 off 14 balls, helped power Rajasthan to 150-3 in a contest reduced to 11-overs-a-side in Guwahati.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Aminul Islam Bulbul has termed the National Sports Council’s (NSC) decision to dissolve the elected board and install an ad hoc committee as a “constitutional coup”, while categorically denying allegations of irregularities in the October 6, 2025 elections.

Former Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal confirmed on Tuesday that he will contest the upcoming Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) elections, shortly after being appointed president of the board’s adhoc committee.

The National Sports Council (NSC) on Tuesday dissolved the Aminul Islam Bulbul-led Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) elected body, and former national team captain Tamim Iqbal was named president of ad hoc committee.

He was arrested and taken to a local police station where he was charged with mid-range drink driving, ABC and other local media reported.
