Zimbabwe opt to bat first in second Bangladesh Test
CHATTOGRAM: Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine opted to bat in the second Test against Bangladesh in Chattogram on Monday, after taking a stunning win in the two match series. Bangladesh, who seek to bounce back and prove their batting mettle, brought back opening batter Anamul Haque. The right-handed batter smashed four centuries in the ongoing Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League, a 50-over domestic event, which earned him a Test recall after three years. Muzarabani takes nine as Zimbabwe celebrate Bangladesh first Test win Bangladesh made three changes – bringing in Anamul Haque, Nayeem Hasan and Tanzim Hasan to replace Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Nahid Rana, and Khaled Ahmed. Right-arm pacer Tanzim, who has 25 wickets in 16 first class matches, is getting his first Test cap for the hosts. Zimbabwe also have a debutant in leg-spinner Vincent Masekesa, who bagged 71 wickets in 20 first class matches. Zimbabwe also added Tafadzwa Tsiga to replace Victor Nyauchi and Nyasha Mayavo. Zimbabwe celebrated a determined three wicket win over Bangladesh in the first Test in Sylhet on Wednesday. Bangladesh failed to prove their batting mettle as they were bundled out for under 200 runs in the first innings in the series opener. Bangladesh: Anamul Haque, Shadman Islam, Najmul Hossain Shanto (captain), Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Jaker Ali (wk), Taijul Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Nayeem Hasan, Tanzim Hasan. Zimbabwe: Ben Curran, Brian Bennett, Nick Welch, Sean Williams, Craig Ervine (captain), Wessly Madhevere, Tafadzawa Tsiga (wk), Wellington Masakadza, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani, Vincent Masekesa.

Bangladesh cricketer Tamim back home after heart attack
Former Bangladeshi cricket captain Tamim Iqbal has returned home from hospital, days after suffering a massive heart attack during a local match. The 36-year-old was released on Friday. He was leading Mohammedan Sporting Club in a match of the 50-over Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League on Monday when he was rushed to a nearby hospital, complaining of severe chest pain. Doctors inserted stents to repair an arterial blockage the same day, and Tamim was later moved to a bigger health facility in the capital, Dhaka. 'After observing his health condition, we have decided to discharge him today,' Shahabuddin Talukder, a doctor at Evercare Hospital, told reporters on Friday. He added that Tamim would have to maintain a rehabilitation programme and modify his lifestyle. 'We hope he will be able to return to cricket soon,' the doctor added. Abu Zafar of the Bangladeshi Ministry of Health and Family Welfare told reporters on Wednesday that it was uncertain whether Tamim would be able to return to cricket. 'Tamim won't be able to play sports for the next three months. If everything goes well, then he will be able to return,' he said. 'Unfortunately, he is a smoker, which is a risk factor for heart attacks. He must stay away from it. He will have to follow doctors' advice.' Tamim scored more than 15,000 runs for Bangladesh in a career spanning 15 years and remains the only Bangladeshi to score hundreds in all formats of international cricket.
