The event technical committee of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 has approved Anamul Haque Bijoy as a replacement for Shakib Al Hasan in the Bangladesh squad, said a press release from the ICC.

"This is clear cheating, I want justice," Mathews said in another post.

However, the impact of the victory was overshadowed by what had transpired in a smog-choked Delhi.

"Became a part of history, man!" said Indian commentator Sanjay Manjrekar as he left the commentary box after Angelo Mathews became the first batter in international cricket to get 'Timed out'.

The unprecedented 'Timed out' dismissal of Angelo Matthews may have been the key talking point during Sri Lanka innings, but Bangladesh bowlers did enough to make their presence felt on a batting-friendly Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi yesterday.

Mathews was adjudged to be timed out after failing to take strike at the crease within the two-minute time limit.

You simply cannot keep Shakib Al Hasan away from controversy.

Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan had a hard time explaining his side’s batting failure followed by a toothless effort by his bowlers in their seven-wicket loss to Pakistan at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Tuesday.

"At times you need to keep smiling," Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan concluded yesterday's pre-match press conference, ahead of the Tigers' fixture against Pakistan in Kolkata today, telling it with a smile on his face.

Shakib came under criticism for leaving the side after the defeat to South Africa while team management also came under fire for allowing the skipper to leave on his own in the middle of such a big tournament. Shakib’s tournament with the bat has been well below the high standards he had set for himself.

The change in Shakib’s mood did not escape the eyes of the reporter of Hindustan times who asked how things changed in two days’ time. Shakib smiled and inquired ‘my voice changed? Different?”

One of the many features that makes cricket stand out from other major team sports is the significance of the captain.

The Deputy High Commission of Bangladesh in Kolkata hosted a dinner party inviting the Bangladesh cricket team on Sunday.

Bangladesh are currently ninth in the World Cup points-table with just two points in six games. 

The Bangladesh cricket is in a coma at the moment, and the way doctors ask family members of a terminally-ill patient to pray when things go beyond their control, the fate of the Tigers are beyond their control after their humiliating 87-run defeat to the Netherlands at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday.

Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan admitted that the humiliating 87-run defeat against the Netherlands in Kolkata yesterday is hard to swallow.

After this chaotic buildup, Bangladesh have suffered in the tournament, losing five out of their six games so far. 

Chasing 230, Bangladesh got bundled out for a mere 142, suffering their fifth straight defeat in the tournament.
