Bangladesh stand-in skipper Litton Das insisted that experienced campaigners Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah don't have to take any pressure in their comeback series and should focus on enjoying the game. Bangladesh will take on New Zealand in the three-match ODI series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium from September 21. Mahmudullah and Tamim are  making a comeback  in the ODIs and the former, who last played in the home series against England, would be keen to seize the opportunity to ensure his World Cup berth. Meanwhile Tamim returned after recovering from back injury but whether he is match-fit still remains to be seen. "When there are two seniors (Tamim and Mahmudullah) it helps in every way," Litton told reporters at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Wednesday (September 20). "There are coming back to play after a while and I don't want to put any pressure on them. Let them enjoy the game because chance of success is much more if someone can enjoy the

Eight persons, including former Bangladesh all-rounder Nasir Hossain, have been charged for breaching different aspects of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) anti-corruption code during the 2021 edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 League. The action of charging those involved has been carried by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on behalf of the ECB. Hossain, who represented Bangladesh in 19 Tests, 65 ODIs and 31 T20Is, has been charged with Article 2.4.3, Article 2.4.4 and Article 2.4.6, which amount to his failure to disclose details regarding a mysterious gift, non-cooperation in DACO investigations and his inability to disclose the complete details of the corrupt approaches made to him. While Hossain hasn't played international cricket since 2017, he has been active in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) where he also happens to captain the Dhaka franchise. Two co-owners of teams, Krishan Kumar Chaudhary and Parag Sanghvi, have been charged with Article 2.4.5, Article 2.4.6 and Ar

  Jasprit Bumrah has re-joined the Indian team after a brief hiatus from Asia Cup duties in view of the birth of his first child. He arrived in Colombo early on Friday, just in time for India's first Super 4 match against Pakistan on Sunday. His arrival coincides with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) announcing a reserve day for the upcoming crucial match. Due to the persistent inclement weather in Colombo, the ACC has rightly decided to designate a reserve day for Sunday's fixture. In case the weather affects the game on the scheduled day, it will continue on Monday from where it left off. It's worth noting that there are no reserve days allocated for the other Super 4 matches due to back-to-back games, but the final will have a reserve day in case of rain, Bumrah had left Sri Lanka immediately after India's initial game against Pakistan on September 2, causing him to miss the second league match against Nepal on September 4. However, his return aligns perfectly with th

When you first learned the facts about pregnancy — from a parent, perhaps, or a friend — you probably didn't learn that up to one in three ends in a miscarriage. What causes miscarriage? How is it treated? And why is appropriate health care for miscarriage under scrutiny — and in some parts of the US, getting harder to find? What is miscarriage? Many people who come to us for care are excited and hopeful about building their families. It's devastating when a hoped-for pregnancy ends early. Miscarriage is a catch-all term for a pregnancy loss before 20 weeks, counting from the first day of the last menstrual period. Miscarriage happens in as many as one in three pregnancies, although the risk gradually decreases as pregnancy progresses. By 20 weeks, it occurs in fewer than one in 100 pregnancies. Protect yourself from the damage of chronic inflammation. Science has proven that chronic, low-grade inflammation can turn into a silent killer that contributes to cardiovas­cular disea
