Afghanistan ne Abu Dhabi mein 92 overs batting karke draw nikala, Atal ne resistance lead kiya

Sediqullah Atal is escape ke centre mein rahe, unhone 111 runs off 332 balls ke liye eight-and-a-half hours se zyada batting ki, aur coach Richard Pybus ne unke early Test career mein ki gayi mehnat ki tareef ki. Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto ne missed chances ki baat ki, lekin Afghanistan ka tail bhi firm raha: Qais Ahmad aur Yamin Ahmadzai end tak tikke rahe, aur Qais ne late on teen sixes ke liye bhi time nikaal liya.

Joseph ke replacement ke taur par Keemo Paul aate hain.
15-man squad mein 23-year-old Kevin Wickham ko maiden Test call-up mila hai, West Indies Championship mein teen innings mein teen centuries ke baad, jabki opener John Campbell hamstring injury se recover karke wapas aate hain. Series 28 October ko Dhaka mein start hogi, 22 se 24 October tak ek three-day warm-up match ke baad.
Bavuma ne Durban defeat ke baad South Africa se quick response target kiya, unbeaten run khatam
Temba Bavuma ne kaha ki South Africa ke paas “obvious things we could improve on” hain, jab Durban mein Australia se haar ke saath Test captain ke taur par unka unbeaten run khatam ho gaya. Unhone maana ki disappointment abhi bhi raw hai, khaaskar isliye kyunki first day par South Africa ne Australia ko 124 for 6 par la diya tha, phir Matt Renshaw ki Pat Cummins aur Nathan Lyon ke saath partnerships ne match ka rukh badal diya.
Bavuma ko laga innings drift ho gayi jaise-jaise ball soft hui aur pitch flatten hui, aur unhone concede kiya ki game ke later phase mein decent batting conditions ka South Africa ne enough faayda nahi uthaya. Unhone apni team ki first-innings effort mein “soft dismissals” ko bhi acknowledge kiya, including apna, jabki wo series ke baaki hissa ke liye regroup karna chahte hain.
