Australia's Tait named Bangladesh pace bowling coach
Australia's Shaun Tait has been named Bangladesh's new pace bowling coach, the country's cricket board said Monday.
The 42-year-old Tait, who played 59 internationals for Australia between 2005-2016, replaces former New Zealander Andre Adams who had joined last year.
"It's a good time to be involved with the Bangladesh cricket team right now, a bit of a new era if you like," Tait was quoted as saying in a Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) media release.
"This is international cricket, not a development team, and everyone expects the talent to bring results, which is very much my focus with the fast bowling group."
Tait will start his new role later this month, and his contract runs until November 2027, the BCB said.
Before joining Bangladesh, Tait linked up with teams including the West Indies, Pakistan and Afghanistan. He also has worked with clubs in franchise leagues around the globe.

BCB announces 16-member test squad for two-match series against Sri Lanka
New Delhi [India] June 5 (ANI): The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced a 16-member squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against Sri Lanka on Thursday, which kicks off Bangladesh's campaign in the 2025-2027 ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, according to the ICC website. Najmul Hossain Shanto will continue to lead the side. The 25-year-old top-order batter remains at the helm after impressing with his leadership and consistency in the previous WTC cycle, where Bangladesh finished seventh. Wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das makes his return to the squad after missing the last series due to injury. Fast bowler Ebadot Hossain, who has been out of international action since July 2023, is also back in the mix. Additionally, left-arm spinner Hasan Murad and right-arm pacer Nahid Rana have earned recalls. Three players from the squad that featured in the recent home Test series against Zimbabwe have missed out on selection this time - left-arm spinner Tanvir Islam, fast bowler Tanzim Hasan Sakib, and opening batter Mahmudul Hasan Joy. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will kick off the 2025-27 World Test Championship cycle. Bangladesh drew their last Test series against Zimbabwe at home in April. Bangladesh are likely to arrive in Sri Lanka on June 13, with their first Test in Galle starting on June 17. The second Test will be at the Singhalese Sports Club Cricket ground in Colombo, starting on June 25. The Tests will be followed by three ODIs and three T20Is, with the tour ending on July 16, according to a report from ESPNcricinfo. Bangladesh Test Squad: Najmul Hossain Shanto (Captain), Shadman Islam, Anamul Haque Bijoy, Mominul Haque Showrab, Mushfiqur Rahim, Litton Kumer Das, Mahidul Islam Bhuiyan, Jaker Ali Anik, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (Vice-Captain), Taijul Islam, Nayeem Hasan, Hasan Murad, Ebadot Hossain Chowdhury, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana, Syed Khaled Ahmed.

18-year wait ends as RCB lift maiden IPL trophy
In the first half of the game, RCB was restricted to 190/9 after a brilliant final over by Arshdeep Singh in which he grabbed three wickets and gave away just three runs. Kyle Jamieson had given PBKS the perfect start by removing RCB opener Phil Salt for 16 in just the second over. But the early blow didn't rattle RCB for long as Virat Kohli and Mayank Agarwal began to rebuild steadily. Just as Agarwal looked to settle in, Yuzvendra Chahal derailed the momentum, dismissing him for 24. Kohli and skipper Rajat Patidar then added 40 for the third wicket. Patidar looked to step on the gas, hitting Jamieson for a six but the New Zealander had the last laugh, trapping him leg before for 26, leaving RCB at 96/3. Liam Livingstone then joined Kohli and the duo took 14 off Chahal's last over. Kohli looked on course for another fifty but a brilliant return catch by Azmatullah Omarzai saw him return to the dugout for 43 as RCB slumped to 131/4 in the 15th over. After Kohli's dismissal, Jitesh Sharma offered RCB a flicker of hope with a quickfire cameo, aided by Livingstone. Jamieson was smashed for 23 in the 17th over but also managed to remove Livingstone with a sharp delivery that rapped his pads, trapping him LBW. Then Vijaykumar Vyshak struck a crucial blow in the 18th over. Though RCB's DRS saved Sharma once, Vyshak had the final say. With the very next ball, he sent Sharma back to the dugout for a breezy 24 off 10 balls, further dampening RCB's hopes of crossing the 200 mark.
