Naeem Islam, a seasoned cricketer from Bangladesh, made history by being the first player to collect 10,000 first-class runs during the 25th National Cricket League (NCL). In honor of this achievement, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) gave Naeem a coveted crest. His participation for Dhaka Metro in the second-round match in Mirpur against the defending champion Rangpur Division was heralded by this accolade.
The all-rounder from Bangladesh amassed a respectable 10,039 runs in his first-class career, including 31 centuries at an average of 42.35. He has 416 runs in eight Test matches for Bangladesh, including a notable 108 against the West Indies in 2012. In honor of this exceptional accomplishment, match referee Md Ehsanul Hoque and selector Habibul Bashar presented him with a renowned crest.
“Well, he has been playing for a very long time, and scoring 10,000 runs is quite difficult. He has been batting exceptionally well over the past three to four years. Not just about scoring runs, but also about inspiring our future players, who are currently playing longer-version first-class cricket, to learn how to play longer-version cricket, according to Bashar, who was reported by The Daily Star.

Subject: Shoaib Malik advises changing Pakistan’s bowling lineup since Shadab is “struggling,” despite the fact that he is undoubtedly a very excellent bowler.
Given Shadab Khan’s underwhelming performances thus far in the 2018 ICC Cricket World Cup, former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik asked Babar Azam to bench the all-rounder in the team’s forthcoming game. On October 20, the 1992 champions will play Australia in their fourth game at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
After the team’s match against India in Ahmedabad, many have questioned Shadab’s position in the squad. Shadab should be benched from the forthcoming game, according to Malik, who said that he is having trouble with both bat and ball.
“Shadab is unquestionably a very excellent bowler, but he is having trouble. Even though he claimed four wickets against Sri Lanka in Lucknow on Monday, Adam Zampa struggled to place his leg-spin, but his sliders and googlies were placed correctly, according to Malik, speaking to A Sports.

Subject: Does Sri Lanka still stand a chance of making the 2023 ICC World Cup semifinals?
The Sri Lanka team’s ICC World Cup 2023 campaign hasn’t gotten off to a good start. Dushmantha Chameera and Wanindu Hasaranga, two of their top players, were injured at the beginning. The Lankan Lions let up the most World Cup points ever against South Africa as a result. In their opening World Cup 2023 encounter, South Africa crushed them, scoring 428/5 with Delhi batting first.
Despite their best efforts, Kusal Mendis and Charith Asalanka were unable to successfully pursue the target. With only 326 runs, Sri Lanka fell short and suffered a 102-run defeat. Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama scored magnificent centuries to lead Sri Lanka to 344 runs after they batted first in their subsequent game against Pakistan in Hyderabad. However, with centuries from Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan was able to chase down this highest total ever and set a World Cup record in the process.

Subject: Babar Azam should give up his captaincy because he is a fantastic batter: Shoaib Malik
One of the most anticipated games of the ODI World Cup 2023 took place on Saturday, October 14, between India and Pakistan. At the enormous Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the two Asian heavyweights were anticipated to mesmerize cricket fans. With seven wickets in hand, India yet cruised to victory after chasing down a meager 192-run goal in just 30.3 overs.
This ended up being Pakistan’s second loss to India in as many months. In September, the “Men in Green” were defeated by Rohit Sharma’s team in the Asia Cup 2023. Babar Azam’s future as captain has drawn a lot of attention since the World Cup defeat by seven wickets.
Some believe the 29-year-old should be given more time, while others believe the right-handed hitter has outrun his usefulness as the captain of the national team. Babar should step down as captain, according to Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik, who remarked that Babar could offer more simply as a batter following the team’s most recent defeat. Malik is a former captain of Pakistan. Additionally, he thinks it can work wonders for the team.
“Look, I’ll give you my frank assessment of this. Babar should step down as captain, as I have already stated in earlier interviews. This is just my opinion, but there is a lot of research to support it. Babar is a player who can accomplish miracles for himself and the team, according to the former Pakistan captain.

Subject: Sachin Tendulkar describes how to read quality spinners from their hand in reference to England’s defeat over Afghanistan.
On Sunday, October 15, in a thrilling match in Delhi, Afghanistan defeated the reigning champions England by 69 runs to deliver the tournament’s first significant upset. Additionally, this was Afghanistan’s first triumph over England in general. The Afghan spinners took advantage of the conditions while defending a goal of 285 runs and gave England a lot of trouble.
With eight wickets between them, the spin trio of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Mohammad Nabi excelled. Although the Arun Jaitley Stadium’s pitch was not turning squarely, the spinners received enough support, and their talent was evident. In addition to congratulating Afghanistan on their historic victory, the legendary Sachin Tendulkar noted that England’s hitters erred by attempting to read the spinners off the track rather than from the hand.
“Afghanistan put in a fantastic all-around effort, with @RGurbaz_21’s good knock serving as the catalyst. @ECB_cricket had a bad day.
The England hitters failed to read quality spinners from their hand, which is a requirement when facing them. Instead, they were read off the field, which I believe contributed to their demise,” Tendulkar wrote in his piece.

Subject: Everything you need to know about Babar Azam’s career profiles, ODI statistics, records, and rankings
Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, was born on October 15, 1994, in Lahore, Pakistan. He is currently one of the most productive and reliable batters in international cricket. With his steady achievements across all formats over the past few years, the right-handed batter is currently regarded as one of the greatest players of the modern era, along with Virat Kohli of India, Steven Smith of Australia, Joe Root of England, and Kane Williamson of New Zealand.
In 2015, the Men in Green’s one-day international encounter against Zimbabwe in Harare marked the 28-year-old’s debut for the team. He played against England the following year in Manchester in the shortest international format for the first time. Against the West Indies in Dubai (DSC), Babar wore the White Jersey for the first time that year.
Babar Azam simply kept getting better after making his ODI debut, eventually joining that team as a permanent member. He consistently scored runs, which made him one of the most important and necessary players in the lineup. Despite having established himself early in his ODI career, Babar’s 360-run performance against the West Indies in a three-match bilateral series in the United Arab Emirates in 2016 was his most memorable accomplishment.
