Hosting Australia to play three match T20 series at Gaddafi Stadium is huge chance to Pakistan to get ready to take part in T20 World Cup 2026, which starts on February 7. This will help players to gain confidence and get used to their flow just before big tournament. It is also right time that Pakistan can test young players such as Saim Ayub and Usman Khan against world players and find out whether they can handle tough settings. Pakistan will have its group matches in Sri Lanka and Australia will have its matches in India so this is final chance to fix any weaknesses in their line up. Although both teams are going to be tested to play with their extra players because of few main players such as Shaheen Shah Afridi and Pat Cummins of Australia will be made to play with small injuries before they take on biggest T20 stage in the world.

MI-W vs UPW-W

This was huge shock when UP Warriorz ended their losing run by beating current champions, Mumbai Indians by seven wickets. Harleen Deol, making great comeback on night as she scored 64 runs and helped her team to win through help of Chloe Tryon to hit fast at end of game. Although Mumbai played strong game through Nat Sciver Brunt to take them to 161 runs after atmost slow start, it was not enough to stop Warriorz to chase goal with almost two overs left. I believe this victory turns whole season upside down since it shows that Warriorz is able to beat best teams and can even be possible surprise team during playoffs if they continue to play this well.

The first BPL match on Thursday - between Chattogram Royals and Noakhali Express - has been delayed after both teams did not arrive at the venue for the toss, which was scheduled for 12.30 pm local time. The match was supposed to begin at 1pm local time.

Cricketers' Welfare Association of Bangladesh (CWAB) had threatened a boycott all forms of cricket - international, domestic, the BPL - unless Nazmul Islam, a BCB director, tendered his resignation. This followed disparaging comments Nazmul made against players. Nazmul, the board's finance committee chairman, had said that he believes national cricketers should be asked to return the "crores and crores of taka" that the BCB spends on them, also calling Former Bangladesh Captain Tamim Iqbal an "Indian Agent"

In detail, the BCB (Bangladesh Cricket Board) Nazmul Islam said not good words about the players due to which the players got angry and they directly said that stop cricket, this results in the postponement of the matches. Secondly, now all the players want Nazmul Islam to say sorry publicly and he wants to apologize privately but still the players stand on their point of view.

Players are ready to continue the league if Nazmul Islam cooperates with them. Hence, today's game got postponed because all the teams players did not arrive at the venues and at the same time, if Nazmul Islam does not say sorry by tomorrow, then the boycott continues. This is a big trouble in the matches schedule.

As far as I know, the current president of Bangladesh Cricket Board was more capable than the others but unfortunately some of his statements are based on the fact that the players of Bangladesh who are never seen performing well are protesting and because of them the matches of this Bangladesh Premier League are getting delayed.
However, unfortunately it is true that the current president of BCB, Nazmul Islam, has been expelled from his post. All in all, the Bangladesh Cricket Board is in a very turbulent state.

Now I don't want to claim that the Bangladesh Cricket Board are all saints. But in the past, they have clearly misused their power. One perfect example is that of Shakib al Hasan. He was the only world class player Bangladesh had at that time, but he regularly ran into issues with the BCB. Shakib was given bans and financial penalties. And on many occasions, I thought that the punishment was disproportionate. Another factor that we need to remember here is that BCB is always subservient to the ruling government. They are not exactly an independent body (which is a requirement as per the ICC).

Bangladesh Cricket Board still gets criticized by January 2026 due to its failure to be free of government, more so when it comes to way it treats Shakib Al Hasan. Over years, fans have said that board has been using its power in unfair way by giving harsh punishments and bans to Shakib simply because they had to make sure that they controlled only world class player they had. Board also follows government orders despite Aminul Islam Bulbul becoming new BCB President following 2025 political changes, which goes against ICC rules of being fair body. Great example is present case of Shakib: although he is healthy and fit to play, he has been stopped from playing in national team due to his political links to past government. That shows that BCB is still controlled by government, not sports group itself, and Shakib has to play in other leagues in country, as he is made unneeded by team that he has been helping.

I fully support the BCB director, Nazmul Islam, for his decisive action; he has shown courage and spoken the truth. Considering the amount of money spent on Bangladeshi cricketers, Bangladeshi players have not achieved anything. The Bangladesh government has also given them many opportunities, but most players have not contributed much to the team. Even day by day, the quality of their playing is getting worse. So far, they have not been able to bring any international trophy to Bangladesh. He didn't say anything bad; he said the truth. The people of Bangladesh fully supported his statement.

Things like these lead to the downfall of the cricket.

Hadn't it be good that they may have resolved this without having an affect on the tornament

His words sparked controversy, and the response from the Cricketers Association was simple and justified. If CWAB stays silent, Nazmul Islam will likely continue doing this. This isn't the first time either. He has made similar controversial remarks in the past, even if indirectly.
It honestly feels like his main agenda is to go viral or seek attention. Public statements like these damage players reputations. As a fan, I see no reason to support M. Nazmul Islam's comments about the players.

Actually, the name Shakib Al Hasan you mentioned is also not a saint himself, he was a world class player or is known the best player in the history of bangladesh cricket, but as a person, Shakib Al Hasan, he is known as a bad boy to the people of Bangladesh and among them, there is a crime against humanity against him in the July Revolution of Bangladesh, besides, the previous fascist government's parliament member was also a vote stealer. So now he has fled the country as a criminal. I do not see any fault of the current government or the current Bangladesh Cricket Board here, he may be a good player but not above the law.

Big Bash League

Sydney Thunder vs Sydney Sixers

Today it was famous Sydney Smash, with Sydney Sixers beating their rivals, Sydney Thunder by 48 runs. Steve Smith was first to score great 72 runs to allow Sixers to reach huge number of 194 runs, and Thunder fell apart and were all out at just 146 runs. Sean Abbott was man with ball, who was able to stop best hitters of Thunder even before they could start. I think this game showed that Sixers are much more strong than Thunder at moment and are ready for playoffs, as this victory will help them to finish in first two spots.

The allegations against him may or may not be true. But why mix sports with politics? I was referring to the time when he got banned by the BCB. At that time, he was not involved in politics. But he was unfairly treated by the BCB despite being the best player in Bangladesh at that time. What you are referring to happened very recently. He joined politics when his career was almost over. But during his peak years, the BCB never fully utilized his potential. And it is not just Shakib. The BCB ruined careers of so many other players. And no matter who is running the government in Bangladesh, the BCB remains as a corrupt and incompetent body.
