Bangladesh pacer Khaled Ahmed replaced Taskin Ahmed in the 15-member squad for the second Test against South Africa, scheduled to start on October 29, at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.
Under pressure following a listless 1-1 draw against Pakistan in their first match and destabilised by the talk of rift between the coach and senior players becoming public, Bangladesh couldn’t have come up with a better response than their 3-1 win against five-time SAFF Women’s Championship winners India in their final Group A fixture at the Dasharath Stadium in Kathmandu yesterday.
Peter Butler, Bangladesh women’s football team’s head coach, emerged a different man from what he was three days earlier following a frustrating 1-1 draw in the first match of SAFF Women’s Championship against Pakistan in Kathmandu.

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto put forth the same old worn out excuses of ‘not executing plans’ and ‘poor wickets at home’ as reasons for the utter humiliation at the hands of India in the final T20I of the three-match series in Hyderabad yesterday, which ended in a crushing 133-run defeat.
Bangladesh’s Test temperament is often a cause for debate when looking at some of the batters’ approach in the longest format.

This time too in Kanpur, barring one or two innings, the level of Test temperament needed to survive in international cricket was missing from the Tigers.

It was Shakib’s final away Test for Bangladesh who lost the match by seven wickets and went down 2-0 in the series. Kohli brought out his bat and gave it to Shakib and Pant followed suit as players from both sides started to gather for the presentation ceremony. Photo: BCB
