3 min readMar 16, 2026 01:14 PM IST Bangladesh won the third and deciding ODI on Sunday to take the friendship series 2-1, completing a miserable tour for Pakistan who had already lost the preceding Test series 2-0. “If you want to win a series at home, just invite Pakistan,” said Basit Ali on his YouTube channel, the BasitAliShow. On the incoming selection committee, Ali noted Misbah and Sarfaraz have joined, with Sarfaraz announcing his retirement from playing on the same day. “Maybe you’ll see them coaching red-ball cricket,” he said. As for coach Mike Hesson, Ali suggested his position was under pressure. “He had a clause that he would pick the squad of 15 himself. Sarfaraz and Misbah will never accept that.” Ali argued the problems ran deeper than the results alone. Naeed Rana had been the difference across both formats. “Naeed Rana shook the world in this series,” Ali said. “His pace troubled our batsmen in the Tests and he carried that into the ODIs.” Bangladesh’s Taskin Ahmed then took four wickets in …

Dhaka invitation sent: Will Narendra Modi grace Bangladesh’s new PM swearing-in after Hasina’s exit?

Published by Parlour News

Published on Feb 15, 2026 04:14 pm IST PM Narendra Modi has been invited to attend Bangladesh PM‑elect Tarique Rahman’s swearing‑in ceremony on Feb 17, with Dhaka also reaching out to other regional leaders, as per sources cited in Hindustan Times. Reports say Modi is unlikely to attend due to prior commitments in Mumbai on the same day, including a high‑stakes bilateral with French President Emmanuel Macron during his Feb 17–19 India visit tied to the AI Impact Summit, and India may instead send a senior representative such as the Vice‑President or External Affairs Minister. In his post‑victory remarks, Rahman called for national unity, saying Bangladesh is beginning its journey amid a fragile economy, weakened institutions and a deteriorating law‑and‑order situation.   News / Videos / Dhaka invitation sent: Will Narendra Modi grace Bangladesh’s new PM swearing-in after Hasina’s exit?

‘Pakistan is intervening in the matter without any reason’: BCCI VP Rajeev Shukla on Bangladesh’s T20 World Cup ouster | Cricket News

Published by Webster

BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla said that Pakistan are needlessly intervening in the India vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup situation and provoking as well as misleading the latter country. Bangladesh was on Saturday replaced in the showpiece event by Scotland after the Bangladesh government and the Bangladesh Cricket Board refused to let their team travel to India citing security concerns. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi had also criticized the decision of replacing Bangladesh and blasted ICC for “double standards,” saying Bangladesh was treated unfairly. He added that Pakistan’s participation in the World Cup would be decided at the highest government level, pending Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s return from abroad. The PCB had also urged the ICC to consider a hybrid model for Bangladesh, similar to Pakistan’s arrangement, which allows Pakistan to play all its T20 World Cup matches in Colombo. “Pakistan is intervening in the matter without any reason and provoking Bangladesh… Everyone knows the brutality done by Pakistan on the Bangladeshis, and now they are trying to mislead them, which is completely wrong…,” …

ICC reiterates no change in T20 World Cup, refutes Bangladesh’s claim of ‘security risk’ | Cricket News

Published by Webster

The International Cricket Council (ICC) denied on Monday that a security risk assessment had concluded that it was unsafe for Bangladesh to play its T20 World Cup matches in India. Bangladesh’s sports advisor Asif Nazrul had earlier claimed that the world body’s own security assessment had recommended that the situation was not conducive for their team to travel across the border for the tournament which starts in less than a month’s time. But ICC sources close to the developments said that the risk assigned is “low to moderate” and there has been no change to the original itinerary for the mega event. “The ICC’s independent risk assessments, carried out by internationally recognised security experts, do not conclude that Bangladesh cannot play its scheduled matches in India. The overall security risk for the tournament in India has been assessed as low to moderate, which is consistent with the profile of many major global sporting events,” the source said, adding that “the assessments did not identify any specific or direct threat to the Bangladesh team, team officials, …

‘We act as if nothing affects us’: Najmul Hossain Shanto on uncertainty over Bangladesh’s participation in T20 World Cup in India | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Bangladesh’s Test skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto said that even though the uncertainty around the team’s participation in the upcoming T20 World Cup in India is affecting the players, they are acting as if everything was ok. Shanto also slammed Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Director M Najmul Islam for calling former captain Tamim Iqbal an agent of India. “First of all, if you look at our World Cup results, we’ve never really played consistently good cricket. Last year, we did play well, but there were even better opportunities, and we couldn’t capitalise on them. But you’ll see that something always happens before every World Cup. I can say this from my experience of three World Cups – it does have an effect. Now, we act as if nothing affects us, that we are fully professional cricketers. You guys also understand that we are acting – it’s not easy. Of course, it would be better if these things didn’t happen, but this is partly beyond our control,” he said on Saturday.
