WI vs BAN Probable Winners:

Bangladesh has struggled with maintaining consistency. The team will be missing key players for this game, so the youngsters must step up and meet the challenge. West Indies has a strong bowling attack and a good record against Bangladesh. Based on their current performance, we believe the West Indies have a slight advantage. Considering the team combination, West Indies is expected to win this match.

In a notable change, Bangladesh men’s cricket team will have Mohammad Salahuddin managing the batting department during their tour of the West Indies. The move comes as David Hemp, the team’s usual batting coach, is unavailable for the series.

Salahuddin’s appointment as Senior Assistant Coach

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has appointed Mohammad Salahuddin as the senior assistant coach, a role that includes overseeing the batting responsibilities for the national team. This marks Salahuddin’s second stint with the team, and his contract will extend until March 15, 2025.

BCB’s new president, Faruque Ahmed, has embraced a policy shift by involving local coaches in prominent roles. Salahuddin’s wealth of experience makes him a natural fit for the role. His expertise will be tested in the Caribbean, as Bangladesh aims to improve their batting performance in challenging overseas conditions.

David Hemp to resume HP Head Coach role

David Hemp, who transitioned from High Performance (HP) head coach to the national team’s batting coach, did not travel to the West Indies. Currently in Bangladesh, Hemp is expected to return to his original position as HP head coach.

According to BCB cricket operations in-charge Shahriar Nafees, “Hemp is not part of the team as we have appointed Mohammad Salahuddin as senior assistant coach. He will look after our batting.”

New performance analyst for the tour

In another strategic move, BCB has appointed Akshay Hiremath from India as the performance analyst for the West Indies tour. Hiremath replaces Mohsin Sheikh and brings fresh insights to Bangladesh’s preparation and performance evaluation.

BCB’s recent decisions highlight a shift toward integrating local expertise and refining team support structures. With Salahuddin in charge of batting and Hiremath joining as the performance analyst, the Bangladesh team is gearing up for a promising campaign in the Caribbean.

The West Indies tour will not only test the team’s adaptability but also the effectiveness of these new appointments in shaping Bangladesh cricket’s future trajectory.

AFG vs BAN Match Preview

The three-match ODI series is shaping up nicely, with each side winning one game. The Afghans easily won the first game, and Bangladesh put up a good fight in the final game, winning by 68 runs. The two teams would battle hard during the third game to win the series. Both teams have a lot riding on them, particularly Bangladesh, who haven't had much success in this format recently.

AFG vs BAN Probable Winners:

Bangladesh has struggled for consistency over the last two months. The batting lineup hasn't been up to par, and the team will need a strong performance from the top and middle orders to win this game. Afghans are in good form, and the team boasts a strong spin attack and aggressive batters. Based on their current performance, the Afghans hold a slight advantage. Considering the team combination, Afghanistan is expected to win this match.

AFG vs BAN Match Preview

Afghanistan has won five of their last six one-day internationals, including a series win over South Africa at this venue in Sharjah. Allah Ghaznafar, an 18-year-old off-break bowler, picked up six wickets in the opening match against Bangladesh, leading his team to a 92-run victory. Bangladesh's bowlers did an excellent job of limiting the opposition to a low total, but the batters struggled significantly. They have all of the experienced batters in the top and middle orders, and a 92-run loss while chasing 236 is not expected from this team.

Sarfaraz Ahmed and Inzamam-ul-Haq

Former Pakistani skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed and cricket legend Inzamam-ul-Haq have also unintentionally provided comedy gold with their amusing English. Sarfaraz’s well-known mispronunciations have surfaced in multiple clips, with his attempts to respond in English going slightly off-course, making the moment even more memorable.

Inzamam-ul-Haq, a beloved figure in Pakistani cricket, also became a viral sensation for his famously unique choice of words. Known for his phrase "When I don’t stop the ball I am out, when I stop the ball I am out, I don’t know what’s the rule" Inzamam's expressions and attempts at communicating his points have taken on a life of their own online, immortalized by cricket fans who love his straightforward, if occasionally mixed-up, English.

When I don’t stop the ball I am out, when I stop the ball I am out, I don’t know what’s the rule 😂

Known for his occasional slip-ups, Akmal has delivered some unforgettable lines, such as his use of “me, myself and I” in an interview, which had fans in stitches. In another clip, his confusion with certain phrases gave rise to numerous memes that circulated widely on social media. Akmal’s moments showcase the lighter side of cricket, reminding fans that even professional athletes can have humorous language blunders that connect with audiences.

These funny clips are a reminder of the players’ genuine personalities and their commitment to engaging with international audiences, even if it sometimes leads to viral comedy.

Many fans appreciate the light-hearted nature of these clips, viewing them as a refreshing break from the competitive tension of professional cricket.

These viral videos of Pakistan and Bangladesh’s cricket stars continue to spread, giving fans plenty of laughs and allowing the players' personalities to shine beyond their performances on the field. As the clips continue to entertain audiences, it’s clear that cricket brings people together not only through its matches but through shared moments of humor and humanity.

Bangladesh cricket’s journey is set to take a fresh turn with the appointment of Mohammad Salahuddin as Senior Assistant Coach for the national team. With over two decades of coaching experience, Salahuddin has big ambitions, not only for the team’s immediate goals but for the future of local coaches in the national setup. His return marks a significant move under Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) new president, Faruque Ahmed, who looks to empower local coaching talent and break away from past hesitations. Salahuddin’s contract, running through March 2024, will officially begin with Bangladesh's upcoming tour to the West Indies.

Local coaches in the national arena

The Bangladesh Cricket Board has traditionally been cautious about assigning major responsibilities to local coaches. However, under the leadership of BCB president Faruque Ahmed, a shift is underway. Salahuddin, who holds an ACC-Cricket Australia Level 3 coaching accreditation, brings years of national and international coaching experience, having previously served Bangladesh as Assistant Coach and Fielding Coach from 2006 to 2010.

In his statement on Friday, Salahuddin expressed his gratitude for this opportunity and emphasized his vision for the local coaching community. He highlighted that his goal is not only to guide players tactically but also to build a mindset where the next generation dreams bigger and pursues consistent self-improvement. He believes this can have a long-term positive impact on the players’ mindset, saying, “As a coach, I think this is the biggest challenge for me — to make them think that they will dominate world cricket in the future.”

Salahuddin also acknowledged BCB president Faruque Ahmed’s role in his appointment, stating that Ahmed reached out multiple times to ensure Salahuddin joined the coaching team. This sense of mutual commitment adds weight to Salahuddin’s objectives of fostering local talent, which he sees as a crucial responsibility.

Building a platform for future local coaches

One of Salahuddin’s primary aims in his new role is to lay a foundation for local coaches to have a stronger presence in Bangladesh's cricket landscape. For years, discussions had been ongoing about providing a platform for Bangladeshi coaches to step into the national setup. Salahuddin now sees his appointment as an opportunity to create this pathway.

By setting a strong example, Salahuddin hopes to encourage the board to place more trust in Bangladeshi coaches in the future. “If I can pave the way, even if it’s for a short time, our local coaches might also do well,” he said, noting that such a move would help bolster the confidence of aspiring coaches and elevate the status of Bangladeshi coaching talent on the international stage.

In addition, Salahuddin emphasized his commitment to helping players in all aspects—mentally, technically, and tactically—while also sharing his experiences with the team. Reflecting on his previous tenure, he acknowledged the contributions of past players like Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, and Mushfiqur Rahim and expressed a desire to assist the next generation of players with the same dedication.

Mohammad Salahuddin’s return as Senior Assistant Coach for Bangladesh’s national cricket team marks a new chapter in his career and an opportunity for growth within Bangladesh’s coaching community. With his focus on player development, building confidence, and creating a foundation for future local coaches, Salahuddin’s presence is set to inspire both current players and aspiring coaches. As Bangladesh gears up for the West Indies tour, this fresh approach could set the tone for a new era in Bangladesh cricket, where the role of local talent—both on the field and in coaching—is more prominent than ever.

After South Africa dominated with the bat in the Chattogram Test, Bangladesh started their innings in a surprising way. The hosts scored 10 runs in one ball of the innings and that too without hitting the ball. 

Leading the series by 1-0, South African captain Aiden Markram chose to bat first. With the help of three centuries (Tony de Zorzi 177, Tristan Stubbs 106, and Wiaan Mulder 105*) and two more half-centuries (David Bedingham 59 and Senuran Muthusamy 68*), South Africa scored 575/6 before declaring the innings. 

After the first innings of the Test match, Bangladesh scored 10 runs before the second ball of the innings. Moreover, both the openers hadn’t opened their accounts yet.

Penalty runs

Actually, Bangladesh earned five penalty runs due to South Africa’s excessive running on the pitch. Even after several warnings, the visitors exceeded the limit. During the 144th over, just a few balls before the declaration, Bangladesh were awarded five penalty runs. It means that Bangladesh started the innings with 5/0. 

No ball + four byes

After the first delivery of Bangladesh's innings, Kagiso Rabada delivered a widish ball to the leg side, which the wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne failed to save, and it went to the boundary. Moreover, the bowling end umpire signaled the delivery a no-ball as Bangladesh scored 10 runs in just one ball.

10 runs after 1 delivery without bat hitting ball: Have you ever seen this before?! 😮#ICYMI: South Africa were penalised 5 runs earlier for Muthuswamy running straight down the pitch, making Bangladesh start their innings at 5/0.#BANvSAonFanCode pic.twitter.com/nAHFUQBXyK

— FanCode (@FanCode) October 30, 2024

However, the Bangladesh camp’s little smile was erased by the South African bowlers. Bangladesh ended the day at 38/4 as they are trailing by 537 runs. Only the opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy (10) reached double-digit figures in the first nine overs of the innings. Mominul Haque (6*) and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto (4*) are unbeaten in the innings.

Kagiso Rabada (2/8) took two wickets, while Dane Paterson (1/15) and Keshav Maharaj (1/4) took one wicket each. 

Former Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan is reportedly doubtful for the upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed has clarified Shakib’s ODI future. 

The 37-year-old all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has already announced his T20I retirement. While the Test series against the hosts India was his probable last Test, the all-rounder has a wish to play his last Test at home. 

Initially, Shakib was included in the Test squad for the ongoing home Test series against South Africa. However, due to security reasons, Shakib withdrew his name from the home Test series. 

It means Shakib is available: BCB president

Bangladesh will travel to the UAE for a three-match ODI series against Afghanistan. Sharjah will host the ODI series on November 6, 9, and 11. While Shakib’s present was doubtful for the ODI series against Afghanistan, president Faruque Ahmed revealed his current status. 

Ahmed told the media, according to Cricbuzz, "Regarding Shakib Al Hasan, since the team (for the three ODIs against Afghanistan) has not been given yet, it means he is available.”

Shakib couldn't retire from Test cricket at home

Talking about Shakib’s absence for the ongoing home Test series against South Africa, Ahmed confirmed that the board wasn’t involved in Shakib’s decision. He also added that he tried best to end his Test career at home. 

While Shakib didn't return to Bangladesh after conclusion the India tour, the BCB president clarified that they would provide their best security to Shakib if he had arrived in the country. 

Recently, the media reports claimed that Najmul Hossain Shanto wants to step down from the captaincy role after the conclusion of the ongoing home Test series against South Africa. The BCB president has no clarity about this news.

After a commanding victory in the first Test against Bangladesh, the touring South Africans will be eager to win the second. A 2-0 victory here will increase their chances of preparing for the World Test Championship final. Bangladesh, on the other hand, has a lot to work on, particularly in their top order, which must improve if they are to make a comeback.

Top Picks – South Africa

• Aiden Markram – The right-handed batter has 501 runs in his last 6 matches at an average of 46 and will be looking to lead from the front in this match.
• Keshav Maharaj – The left-arm spinner has a wealth of experience and will certainly pose challenges to the Bangladeshi batters.

BAN vs SA Probable Winners:

Bangladesh were anticipated to give South Africa a run over their money during the first Test. That did not happen, as the Proteas cruised home with a clinical performance. Bangladesh's bowling unit is strong enough to continue questioning the opposing batters. However, their batting lineup has consistently failed them. They depend heavily on Mehidy Hasan Miraz to score runs. South Africa's batting unit is a novice, but they have demonstrated the will to fight. More importantly, the bowling attack, led by Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj, is simply too strong for Bangladesh's struggling batting lineup. We believe the visitors will continue to dominate this Test match. Considering the team combination, South Africa is expected to win this match.
