Bangladesh were 55 for one at the end of second day's play in the Chattogram Test on Sunday. Zakir Hasan was unbeaten on 28 alongside night-watchman Taijul Islam (0), with Mahmudul Hasan Joy (21) the only batsman dismissed. 

Kasun Rajitha will not be available for the second Test match as the player has suffered an injury to his left upper back area, said a press release from Sri Lanka Cricket today 

Bangladesh national team head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe will not be present during the upcoming second Test against Sri Lanka, scheduled to commence on 30 March in Chattogram.

Shakib Al Hasan will play the second Test against Sri Lanka in Chattogram, starting on March 30, with some form with the bat after scoring a fluent half-century in the Dhaka Premier League match on Wednesday.

In the Sylhet Test, Sri Lanka didn’t outplay Bangladesh because they had more experience, instead they outdid the hosts because of their superior mindset.

Habibul Bashar, former men's team selector and now women's cricket's operational head, feels that men's team players are not used to the kinds of wicket served in the first Test at Sylhet and should play more domestic matches to overcome their issues.

The Tigers lost the wicket of night-watchman Taijul Islam early in the day, getting trapped LBW for six, after the Tigers began the fourth day reeling on 47 for 5

“We couldn’t prepare a lot [for the Tests]. We had T20s and ODIs [against Sri Lanka]. We had to play Tests just two [three] days after that. This might’ve been a reason.”

Bangladesh lost five wickets for 47 runs in 13 overs late on the third day of Sylhet Test, having been earlier set a victory target of 511 runs by Sri Lanka on Sunday.

In the last ball of the morning session on Day 2 of the Sylhet Test yesterday, Taijul Islam ran a couple of runs off pacer Vishwa Fernando to reach 41, crossing into the 40s for the first time in his Test career.

After an eventful opening day of the Sylhet Test yesterday, Bangladesh find themselves in a vulnerable position against Sri Lanka, paying dearly for the on-field and tactical errors they made on the day.

The ability to evolve has saved Test cricket from the doom people have been envisioning for over a century.

All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is expected to play the second Test of the ongoing two-Test series against Sri Lanka, slated to begin from March 30 in Chattogram.

Afghanistan cricket bosses Wednesday expressed disappointment that Australia had scrapped a men's T20 series because of deteriorating women's rights in the Taliban-ruled country and called for "politics-free cricket".

India's Ravichandran Ashwin reclaimed the top spot in the test bowler's rankings on Wednesday following his nine-wicket haul in the fifth and final test against England last week.

James Anderson says he still has to show he deserves his spot in the England test squad ahead of the home summer but the 41-year-old seamer believes he is in the "best shape" of his life.

"If you bring in a new opener and you gave them four Test matches, and then said, 'okay, we're going to shift that after four Test matches', would you think that's fair or unfair?"

"A lot of good will come out of this tour. I'm 100% positive about that," McCullum told BBC Sport.

India's chess great Viswanathan Anand took to social media last week congratulating Ravichandran Ashwin on the cricketer's 100th Test and asking if the spinner fancied a game of chess with him.

Australia were 202 runs from victory with six wickets in hand at the end of day three of the second Test in Christchurch on Sunday after New Zealand grabbed the momentum with some late bowling fireworks.
