All preparations have been completed to bring back the Bangladeshis trapped in Sudan. Bangladeshis will be brought to the Port of Sudan from Khartoum on May 2. From there they will be taken to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.

The matter was confirmed through a notification of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday.

It is known that the Bangladeshis will be brought to the Port of Sudan from Khartoum on May 2. 12 buses have been hired for this purpose. About 600 people can come in these buses. The Saudi government will arrange for free Saudi Navy ships to transport from Port Sudan to Port Jeddah.

If no untoward incident happens, these Bangladeshis are expected to reach Jeddah by May 3 or 4. Food, drinks, medicine and temporary accommodation have been arranged for Sudanese expatriates in two Bangladesh schools in Jeddah. After traveling from Khartoum to Port Sudan for about 12 hours, all preparations have been made keeping in mind that expatriates do not have any physical problems. From the day they reach Jeddah, the process of bringing them back to Dhaka by Bangladesh Biman special flight will be started.

There are about 1500 Bangladeshis in Sudan. About 700 Bangladeshi nationals have registered to return from Sudan. The government is trying to bring them back to the country. For that purpose, the help of Sudan's neighboring country Saudi Arabia has been sought. Saudi Arabia is also ready to provide assistance in this regard.

Meanwhile, in a statement on Saturday, the spokesperson of the ministry, Sehli Sabreen, said that the stranded Bangladeshis will first be brought from Khartoum to Port Sudan and from there to Port Jeddah. Arrangements are being made to bring them to Dhaka on a few Bangladesh Biman flights from Jeddah.

It is said that Bangladesh's acting ambassador to Sudan is currently staying at Port Sudan to complete all preparations.

Bangladesh Cricket Board has announced the squad for the ODI series against New Zealand. Skipper Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehdi Hasan Miraj, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmood and Shariful Islam have been rested as expected. In other words, regular XI cricketers will be rested in this series before the World Cup. In-form Nazmul Hossain Shanto is not in this series due to injury. Liton Das is leading the team.

Mahmudullah Riyad returned to the team after more than six months. Regular opener Tamim Iqbal returned to the team after recovering from injury. Soumya Sarkar got a place in the ODI squad after three and a half years. Also, two wicketkeeper-batters Nurul Hasan Sohan and Zakir Hasan have returned to the ODI team. Pacer Syed Khaled Ahmed, who is in the preliminary squad of the World Cup, has received a call. Leg spinner Rishad Hossain has come to the ODI team for the first time.

 Afif Hossain Dhruba, Shamim Patwari and Mohammad Naeem Sheikh have been dropped from the Asia Cup squad. It is more likely that they will not be in the World Cup squad.

There is a rumor in the cricket village that Soumya Sarkar and Sheikh Mahedi Hasan can board the plane for the World Cup. Along with this, Tanjid Tamim, who entered international cricket with the Asia Cup, is also likely to be in the fifteen men squad of the World Cup.

 Bangladesh has announced the squad for the first two ODIs of the series against New Zealand. Tamim Iqbal has returned to the team after a long break. Apart from this, Mahmudullah and Soumya Sarkar also got a chance in the first two ODI teams.

Regular captain Shakib Al Hasan has been rested in this home series before the World Cup. ODI vice-captain Liton Das will lead the side against the Kiwis in his place.

 Apart from Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehdi Hasan Miraj, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmood and Shariful Islam are not in the New Zealand series squad. The selectors have decided to rest all of them in this series.

As many of the regular faces of the ODI team are resting, the fortunes of several people who were left out of the team have returned. This list includes experienced Mahmudullah Riyad, Soumya Sarkar, Nurul Hasan Sohan, Zakir Hasan, Rishad Hossain and Khaled Ahmed.

Bangladesh team for the first two ODIs

Liton Das (Captain), Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Enamul Haque, Tawhid Hriday, Mahmudullah, Nurul Hasan, Mehdi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Mostafizur Rahman, Tanzim Hasan, Tanjid Hasan, Zakir Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Khaled Ahmed.

Bangladesh ended their Asia Cup mission through a glorious win by defeating India by six runs in a breathtaking match. Shakib Al Hasan's team got the taste of defeating India in the Asia Cup after almost a century. The last time India lost at the Asia Cup stage was the 2012 Asia Cup.

After winning the toss, Shakib Al Hasan scored 80 (85), Tawheed Hriday 54 (81), Nasum Ahmed 44 (45) and Sheikh Mahedi Hasan 29 (23).

In reply, Lokesh Rahul and Gill brought India back into the match after early wickets of Rohit Sharma and Tilak Verma. After the initial disaster, the two put on a 57-run stand. Mahedi Hasan returned Rahul with a personal 19 (39) runs. Ishan Kishan returned to personal 5 runs in 94 runs Mehdi Hasan scored five runs before being trapped leg before by Miraj. Gill then made a partnership of 45 runs with Suryakumar Yadav.

Seeing everyone's hope gone, Gill picked up the fifty. This opener, who picked up a half-century off 61 balls, took the 5th century of his ODI career off 117 balls. He got out after playing a brilliant innings of 121 runs off 133 balls.

Akshar Patel took charge of the team after Gill's dismissal. This bowling all-rounder scored 42 runs from 34 balls to give the team hope of victory. But in the end he could not finish the match.

In the last over, India needed 12 runs and Bangladesh needed one wicket to win. India could only score 5 runs. Mohammad Shami was run out. The last laugh of Bangladesh

Mustafizur Rahman took the maximum three wickets for Bangladesh. Tanzim Hasan Shakib and Sheikh Mahedi Hasan shared other four wickets taking two each.

How many times changed the scene of the match! The match was not in Sri Lanka's hands, it was in their hands. From there, an over by Shaheen Shah Afridi brought Pakistan into balance. When debutant Zaman Khan got off to a flying start in the last over, India-Pakistan clash in the Asia Cup final for the first time in history seemed destined. From there, Sri Lanka took the match out. They won by 2 wickets. With this victory in the unannounced semi-final, the hosts saw off Pakistan and qualified for the final.

The day started with rain. The rain, which the commentator Dominic Cork said, 'I have never seen such rain in Colombo!' The game started when the rain stopped. The rain was not the end! The match was more messed up a few times.

After winning the toss, Pakistan was in danger of batting. In the beginning, Fakhr Zaman returned, but after settling down, Babar Azam returned shortly. Fifty scoring Abdullah Shafiq also returned shortly after Babar. When Mohammad Nawaz and Mohammad Haris returned after a few overs, there was concern about Pakistan's 200 runs.

Pakistan not only removed that fear, but also got fighting capital. Its entire credit goes to Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed's 77-ball 108-run partnership. Although Iftikhar returned to 47 off 40 balls, Rizwan remained unbeaten and finally played an innings of 86 runs off 73 balls. Pakistan therefore got 252 runs on the scoreboard. However, the Duckworth Lewis Stern method reduced the Lankan target by one run to 252 runs in 42 overs.

Sri Lanka lost Kushal Perera early in reply. Then Pathum Nisanka returned with 77 runs. Still, the Lankans never felt like being knocked out of orbit. Kushal Mendis was standing on one side. His 100-run partnership with Sadira Samarawickrama took the Lankans closer to victory. Sadira returned by stumping on Iftikhar's ball. After that, Kushal formed another small pair with Asalanka. But he stopped 9 runs short of the century.

Shortly after this, Sri Lanka also lost captain Dasun Shanaka. But still they looked like the favorites of the match, at least till the 40 overs. In the 41st over, Shaheen Shah Afridi came to the ball, after which the scene changed. Dhananjaya de Silva and Dunith Vellalaghe returned two consecutive balls. That's how Pakistan came to the driver's seat.

The Lankans needed 8 runs in the last over. When the anointed Zaman Khan gave two runs in the first four balls, took the wicket of Pramod Madushan, then who else should be considered the favorite except Pakistan? The scene of the match, which was swinging like a pendulum, changed once again in the fifth ball. Charith Asalanka touches the corner of the bat as the ball goes out between the wicketkeeper and first slip, touching the boundary. It was then that the victory of the Lankans was assured. Asalanka completed the ceremony with two runs in the last ball.

With that, Sri Lanka sent Pakistan out of the Asia Cup.
