Mehidy Hasan Miraz to lead Bangladesh ODIs
Off-spinner Miraz will take up his post during Bangladesh's three-match ODI series in Sri Lanka, which begins in July, the Bangladesh Cricket Board said.
"Captaining the national team is a dream come true... this is a proud moment for me and my family," he said, according to a statement quoted by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
"I believe in this group -- we have the skills and the mindset to play fearless cricket."
Miraz, who has been skipper before for four ODIs as a stand in for Shanto, is ranked fourth in the world for ODI all-rounders, according to ICC rankings.
Bangladesh will also play two Tests in Sri Lanka, with the first beginning in Galle on June 17 and the second in Colombo from June 25.
Miraz will be the vice-captain for the Tests -- with Shanto leading the team -- as the next World Test Championship cycle begins.

Brilliant Markram takes South Africa to brink of WTC final glory
South Africa reached the close on the third day at Lord's on 213-2 in their second innings, needing just 69 runs to win, with eight wickets still standing. Opener Markram, dismissed for a duck in the first innings, was 102 not out and South Africa captain Temba Bavuma unbeaten on 65 despite spending most of his innings limping with a hamstring injury. The pair have shared an unbroken stand of 143 as South Africa pursue what will be, if they achieve it, the second-highest successful run chase in a Test at Lord's. The highest chase at the London ground is the 344-1, requiring 342, made by the West Indies against England in 1984. But South Africa, whose last International Cricket Council title came at the 1998 ICC Knockout, have such a long history of folding under pressure that their fans will take nothing for granted against serial winners and WTC title-holders Australia. "There was great joy in the changing room for Aiden's hundred and his partnership with Temba is right up there in the history of South African cricket, but the job is not yet done," Proteas batting coach Ashwell Prince told the BBC. South Africa all-rounder Wiaan Mulder said a change in approach had been key to the team's improved batting display on Friday following a meagre 138 all out in their first innings. "We had to go for it whatever they (Australia) got," he told Sky Sports. "There was a lot less fear of failure." South Africa will be desperate to get over the line. In 18 previous attempts in the one-day international and T20 world cups, they have only reached a solitary final -- at last year's T20 World Cup in Barbados, when they fell apart within sight of victory. Starc stars Australia's Mitchell Starc had starred earlier Friday with both bat and ball to put his team in charge and seemingly on their way to victory. The tailender made 58 not out in Australia's second-innings total of 207 and then, in his main role of left-arm fast bowler, dismissed Ryan Rickelton (six) and Mulder (27) to leave the Proteas 70-2. Starc almost had a third wicket when Bavuma got a thick edge only for Steve Smith, in a helmet at an advanced slip position, to drop a fast-travelling catch and leave the field with a finger injury. But with any early moisture in the surface long gone, conditions for batting at a sun-drenched Lord's were now as good as at any time in the match. Markram, aggressive from the outset, punched and pulled Australia captain Pat Cummins for well-struck fours. With Australia appearing to miss absent former captain Smith's tactical input, Bavuma produced the occasional gem of a shot, including a glorious drive down the ground off Cummins. Australia spinner Nathan Lyon almost dismissed both batsmen, with Markram aiming a booming drive at a sharply turning off-break, only to miss the ball completely before it also beat wicketkeeper Alex Carey. Bavuma had made 43 when a slog-sweep off Lyon just evaded a diving Sam Konstas at deep midwicket as the substitute fielder attempted to pull off a low catch, only for the ball to run away for four. Soon afterwards, the diminutive Bavuma, who has a history of hamstring trouble, completed a gritty 83-ball fifty. Markram went to 97 with a brilliant straight-driven boundary off Josh Hazlewood and, shortly before stumps, clipped the fast bowler through midwicket to complete his hundred with an 11th four in 156 balls faced. South Africa enjoyed an early breakthrough at the start of the day's play when paceman Kagiso Rabada had Lyon lbw to leave Australia 148-9 in their second innings. But tailender Starc, dropped by Marco Jansen late Thursday, kept the Proteas at bay, ably assisted by Hazlewood, while making the 11th fifty of his 97-Test career. Part-time spinner Markram eventually succeeded where the frontline bowlers had failed when Hazlewood holed out to end a 59-run partnership for the last wicket.

From samurai threat to Asian Games as Japan cricket fights obscurity
But Japan's cricket association, which operates out of a disused school near a wooded mountain, says the sport is slowly gaining popularity and hopes next year's home Asian Games and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics can take it to a new level. "My whole 11 years here have been about trying to provide people with opportunities to play," said Englishman Alan Curr, Japan Cricket Association's chief operations officer. "That's a lot easier if they know the sport exists. Ultimately, you can't be what you can't see." Curr says cricket is growing annually in Japan with more than 5,000 adults and children playing the game regularly and about three times as many having tried it in some form. That is still a drop in the ocean compared to Japanese baseball, which is played by millions and produces global superstars such as the Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani. The two sports arrived in Japan at roughly the same time, although cricket's origins were slightly less auspicious. A samurai threat to kill all foreigners who refused to leave Japan prompted a group of European residents to seek protection from the British navy in Yokohama. They had a game of cricket to pass the time, playing with loaded guns tucked into their belts to guard against possible attack. A Scottish tea merchant founded the first cricket club in Japan five years later but it failed to catch on beyond expatriate circles. Fast forward to the late 1980s and several universities began playing -- "students were looking for something unique", according to global governing body the ICC. Spreading the word The sport has maintained a niche presence, although rising numbers of South Asian residents in Japan have boosted the playing population. Japan's national teams reflect the sport's Commonwealth roots, featuring several players with parents from cricket-playing countries. The JCA, founded in 1984, has worked hard to introduce cricket to people with no previous experience, concentrating their efforts on selected hubs around the country. Japan women's Twenty20 captain Mai Yanagida told AFP she "knew the name but didn't really know what kind of sport it was" until she took up cricket at Waseda University in Tokyo. "I played softball and baseball before that, but in cricket you can hit the ball 360 degrees," she said at the Women's Sano City International Trophy this month. "I think it's more a sport where you need to play together as a team." The Sano City tournament was played at Japan's cricket headquarters about 100 km (60 miles) outside of Tokyo, on the playing field of a high school that closed its doors more than a decade ago. After losing their opening game, Japan went on to lift the trophy, beating Hong Kong in the final of a tournament that also featured fellow cricketing minnows China, the Philippines and Mongolia. The win came weeks after Japan's men qualified for next year's Under-19 World Cup in Zimbabwe and Namibia. From baseball to cricket Cricket will feature at next year's Asian Games in Japan before it returns to the Olympic programme for the first time since 1900 at the Los Angeles Games. Japan's women won bronze at the 2010 Asian Games and the men made their debut at the 2023 edition, finishing with one win and one defeat. The men's team featured former professional baseball player Shogo Kimura, who took up cricket in 2017 after a 14-year career with some of Japan's biggest teams. Yanagida believes the Asian Games in Nagoya-Aichi and the Olympics can "have a really big impact" on cricket's profile in Japan. "It will be in the news as an Olympic sport so the media can help the name cricket become more widely known," she said. Qualifying for LA will be a tall order for Japan, whose men's T20 team are ranked 42nd in the world, with the women 43rd. All the players are amateurs and Curr says organising games against teams from outside Asia can be difficult. He concedes that there is "no silver bullet" to make cricket genuinely popular in Japan but that will not stop those who love the sport from trying. "You're not an overnight success, there's always a lot of stuff that goes on behind it and we're in that phase now," said Curr. © 2025 AFP
