Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha said that the inclusion of skipper Shakib Al Hasan for tomorrow’s World Cup match against India in Pune will depend on the scan reports of the all-rounder’s injury which the team management has apparently not received yet. 

All eyes were on skipper Shakib Al Hasan, who is recovering from a thigh injury that he sustained during Bangladesh's last game against New Zealand in Chennai.

After a disappointing loss on his birthday, Bangladesh opener Liton Das on Saturday failed to keep his on-field rut hidden as it spilt over off-field on keen media personnel present at the Conrad Hotel during the team's day off.

The entire apartment is like a treasure trove for cricket geeks, full of cricket memorabilia. From signed bats of all batters who have accumulated over 10,000 runs in Tests and ODIs to the signed bats of all World Cup winning captains – the museum had it all.

After suffering heavy defeats in consecutive matches against England and New Zealand, Bangladesh now have a brief window to do some self-reflection about what went wrong in those games before their next match in the ICC ODI World Cup against hosts India on October 19.

Shakib felt some discomfort near his left quadriceps while batting during the team’s ICC ODI World Cup match against the Kiwis in Chennai.

Soft dismissals, unforced errors have led to the demise of the Bangladesh top-order in recent times, and it was no exception against New Zealand in their third ICC World Cup fixture in Chennai yesterday.

Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan was taken for a scan after his match against New Zealand in the ICC World Cup at the Chepauk in Chennai on Friday. 

In a world where stars from diverse domains capture the spotlight, the meteoric rise of cricketer Shakib Al Hasan and actress Pori Moni on Facebook has left everyone in awe. Now, the world's finest all-rounder, Shakib Al Hasan, and popular Dhallywood actress Pori Moni both boast a staggering 16 million followers on their Facebook pages. 

Despite having cruised to a six-wicket victory against Afghanistan in their World Cup opener, Bangladesh will have their work cut out against a somewhat wounded England in Dharamshala today.

Bangladesh has started their World Cup 2023 journey with a convincing win.

In the Tiger’s opening match at the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, the Bangladesh fans saw another all-rounder come to bat at one-down, hit a half-century to steady the innings following a rocky start and snap up three wickets with the ball. This ‘2019 Shakibesque’ performance came from Mehedi Hasan Miraz.

“In this team Miraz is the biggest asset,” Mashrafe further wrote, adding that Bangladesh’s World Cup dream will depend on the pace unit.

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.

Bangladesh ODI skipper Shakib Al Hasan said he is certain that his fast bowlers will have a lot to say going forward in the tournament after Bangladesh got their World Cup campaign off to a winning start with a six-wicket victory over Afghanistan in Dharamshala on Saturday.

Shakib raised his World Cup wickets tally to 37 in the prestigious event, surpassing a few greats of the game.

Four years back, the country’s top all-rounder, Shakib Al Hasan, was engulfed by the type of pressure that all athletes feel at least once in their careers: the pressure of not performing on the field. 

Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusingha was in no mood to be drawn into controversies ahead of the team’s opening match against Afghanistan on Saturday, especially after the build-up to the mega event had been dogged with controversies more than on-field performances.

The Bangladesh team took part in its first training session in Dharamshala yesterday ahead of the Word Cup opener as the players try to put the chaotic buildup to the tournament in the rearview and take the field as a united unit.

When Mushfiqur Rahim hit the winning boundary to upset India in the 2007 World Cup in the Caribbeans, people had already gotten a glimpse of the talents who would lead Bangladesh cricket in the coming years.
