"It's a moment imbued with significance; Siraj, the only Muslim cricketer in the Indian side, indeed the only Muslim cricketer on the pitch, was rightly being feted."

Might be coincidence that a disproportionate number of BAME players were released from county contracts last year. In any case it’s not a good look. Good to speak to Feroze Khushi and Arafat Bhuiyan about their experiences. #CountyCricket www.thecricketer.com/Topics/count...

“Joe Root has played 64 Tests against Australia and India; he has played two against Bangladesh.” The two-tier system already exists. #TwoTierCricket

Funny how only watching the first hour of the Test before falling asleep skews things. Starc only taking one wicket after that new ball spell seems wild. #AusvInd

🇧🇩Bangladesh cricket in one week: ✅Men beat WI in an awayTest match ✅Women beat Ireland 3-0 in ODIs ✅U19s win Asia Cup ✅Rangpur Riders win GSL 🇧🇩BANGLADESH CRICKET IS BACK #BCB

1st women's T20I highlights. Bangladesh v Ireland. #BANvIRE www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaII...

Such a shame that Bangladesh aren’t given 3-match series. An almighty tussle in Jamaica, sees the series drawn 1-1. #WIvBAN

there’s a cricket tournament happening in Guyana right now. but it’s not really about cricket. it’s about oilfields, Russia and India, and a heated border dispute stretching back to (at least) 1899. this week’s column. www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/d...

Always found it odd how hardly any Bangladesh internationals have played county cricket. Surely one or two counties should be asking about Nahid Rana….Bangladesh’s next Test series isn’t until June ‘25.

Justin Greaves follows in the footsteps of Kyle Mayers and many others, and has the best day of his life against Bangladesh. WI 408-8 #WIvBAN

Stat: in Bangladesh’s last bowling innings v South Africa they saw 3 players get maiden hundreds and 1 player get a maiden 50. So far in this innings they have seen Greaves get his maiden 50. So bat against Bangladesh if you want to get your Test career started. #WIvBAN

As for the batting, injuries to Shanto and Mushi make that top order look wafer thin. #WIvBAN

Bangladesh choose to bowl. No Nahid, Shoriful and Taskin back in the team and Taijul with a rare start outside Asia. #WIvBAN

What happened in Bangladesh's last Test series? Clue: it didn't go well. Full story in the new @thecricketer.bsky.social mag. #WIvBAN
