Opening post

For the non-India Test nations.

Afghanistan will be hosting South Africa in a 3-match ODI series in UAE in September outside of the FTP. Hopefully the Saffers send a full strength squad. ACB getting increased fixtures due to their impressive showing in back to back world cups.

Other bit of interesting news...Bangladesh and Pakistan are in the middle of an A team series in Darwin, Australia of all places. Bangladesh seem to be following the recent Indian tactic of sending an A side on a shadow tour just prior to the main team's Test tour. Mushfiqur Rahim and Mominul Haque will be headlining the Bangladesh A team's tour of Pakistan next month.

Sri Lanka have yet another new white ball captain...Asalanka takes over in ODIs from Kusal Mendis.

Also India (T20) and Bangladesh (ODI) will be hosting the next two Asia Cups in 2025 and 2027, respectively.

Bangladesh now with 4 overseas WTC wins, but only one win at home. Its time to fire our curator, and perhaps time to re-lay the wickets to produce some tracks with decent carry and pace.

Bangladesh U-19s just won their second consecutive U-19 Asia Cup, beating India in the Final.

Kinda shocking to see India failing to win a competition they have dominated in recent years. India have won it 7 out of 11 times, plus co-champions with Pakistan. The Afghans have won it once, way back in 2017, but surprisingly they haven't won it again since, and this year they lost all 3 group stage games, including to minnows Nepal - who punch above their weight at the U-19 level.

Bangladesh ODI team is on the verge of dropping to the 10th in the rankings. This would be our lowest ranking since 2006-07, or 18 years ago!!!

Wow Saudi Arabia beat Oman in a T20! Not that Oman is super good but they have made it to world cups and KSA are pretty terrible at cricket.
