That's what happens when Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Ul Hasan and Mahmudullah Riyadh go back to back out of the team. You are left with no choices. I hope Virat and Rohit doesn't retire back to back along with Jadeja and Ashwin. I hope Shami plays for another year till December 2025 to guide Siraj and Akashdeep.

Souymya Sarkar, Sabbir Rehman, Afif Hossain, Left hander middle order batsman, Raqibul Hasan were talented players. Never backed up by team management for long term.


Now let's see whether Towhid Hridoy and Joy gets backing or not. They will be leading this team. Shanto fulcrum post Rahim is gone.

Consecutive 5-wicket haul for KG Rabada - only the second South African bowler to do that in Asia after Paul Adams done that against Bangladesh at the same venue in 2003.
