Gulf Today
|April 20, 2025
Pace sensation Nahid Rana will be in the spotlight when Bangladesh take on Zimbabwe in the first game of a two-match series between the evenly matched Test rivals on Sunday.
-
Bangladesh are ranked ninth and Zimbabwe are at the bottom of the 12-team ICC Test rankings after a disappointing year and both teams are hoping for a better start to the long season ahead.
The hosts have been formidable on the slow and spin-friendly home pitches but have several veterans missing.
The Sylhet wicket is expected to offer pace and bounce for the new ball bowlers and Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto said he was excited about Nahid, who already has 20 wickets in six Tests.
