In the year 2018, Bangladesh played its only Test match at the Sylhet International Stadium. After a five-year gap, the anticipation for the second Test at the Sylhet ground is building, with New Zealand as Bangladesh's opponent in this upcoming match.
Nazmul Hossain Shanto took on the role of interim captain in three ODI matches, all of which ended in losses for the Bangladesh team. However, his Test captaincy debut in the Sylhet Test marked a distinguished beginning for Shanto in the elite cricket format.
In the final Test of his career, South African captain Dean Elgar's decision to bat backfired as Indian bowlers, led by Mohammad Siraj, crushed the Proteas for a mere 55 runs in just 23.2 overs. This marks South Africa's 8th lowest Test innings, especially against India, since their return from exile.
