Bangladesh tearaway Nahid Rana is among the three members to withdraw from their upcoming tour of Pakistan, which is set to kick off next week at Lahore’s iconic Gaddafi Stadium. According to the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) cricket operations chairman, Nazmul Abedeen Fahim, there is a possibility that Nahid could have withdrawn from the squad, considering the difficult situation he faced when trying to leave Pakistan earlier this month due to the cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan. Nahid was a part of Peshawar Zalmi’s squad when the players had to be withdrawn from the Pakistan Super League. Nahid’s national teammate, Rishad Hossain, was also a part of Zalmi’s squad, but he is touring with Bangladesh. Fahim revealed that most of the players were hesitant to tour Pakistan but changed their minds after most of the Bangladesh players decided to embark on the three-match T20I series. “What Nahid Rana and Rishad faced recently, you can’t blame them for being traumatised. Which is probably why Rana has withdrawn from the tour. Among the coaching …

Bangladesh turned an 18-run first-innings lead against the West Indies into a competitive 211-run advantage on day three Monday of the second test at Sabina Park. Bangladesh defended its first-innings 164 by bowling out the host for 146 just after lunch. Fast bowler Nahid Rana took his maiden test five-for. As the pitch started to ease up in the sun, the Bangladeshis batted with unexpected boldness, especially Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shadman Islam, and grabbed a handy lead at 193-5 when bad light ended play. Captain Mehidy’s counterattacking 42 off 39 balls consolidated Bangladesh’s renewed confidence of tying the two-test series. First, Bangladesh had to overcome losing Mahmudul Hasan Joy in the first over after he edged Jayden Seales to the slips. Shahadat Hossain was dropped on 18 but the damage was limited. He scored only 10 more runs, 28 off 26 balls. That brought in Mehidy, who promoted himself from No. 7 in the order to No. 4, in part to protect No. 3 batter Mominul Haque, who stayed off the field because of …

India Test series provides pathbreaking moment for Bangladesh: The first 150-kph-er in Nahid Rana and Hasan Mahmud, with unique action, raise fast-bowling hopes | Cricket News

A speed merchant nudging 150kph, a sui generis in his country; a seam and swing merchant with dexterous wrists and a natural gift of bending the ball either ways; a beanpole left-arm quick coaxing unnerving lift and slippery pace; an exciting but erratic talisman discovering precision to ally his pace; a stream of young quicks bristling about in the domestic circuit. In unison, they are re-imaging the cricket identity of their country, from a land of left-arm spinners to fast bowlers. For much of their existence in international cricket, left-arm finger spinners formed the breathing soul of Bangladesh. The first famous cricketer from the pre-independent era was a left-arm spinner with handlebar moustache, Ramchand Goala; its first cult hero, Mohammed Rafique, practised left-arm spin too; its first superstar cricketer, Shakib Al Hasan, was inevitably a left-armer too. Left-arm spinners have accounted for 39 percent of Bangladesh’s wickets in Test cricket. The in-house banter used to be that if someone flipped a coin in the anarchic streets of Dhaka, a left-arm spinner would catch it. But …
