South Africa have named a largely unchanged one-day international squad for the three-match home series with Bangladesh from March 18 to 23, with only all-rounder Sisanda Magala missing out after he failed a fitness test. But it is otherwise the same selection that defeated India 3-0 on home soil in January.
Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Tuesday announced a 16-man Proteas squad to take on Bangladesh in an upcoming three-game ODI series.
The first five games of ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022 have caused a lot of movement in the latest update of the ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings. Australia skipper Meg Lanning climbed up two spots in the latest women's rankings for ODI batters. She is now just one and 15 rating points away from the top spot that's currently occupied by her teammate Alyssa Healy. Lanning was in sublime form in the first game of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup against England, smashing 86 in 110 balls seven fours and a six, which helped Australia post a massive total of 310. They eventually won the game in the last over by 12 runs.
Questioning Shakib Al Hasan's commitment to the national team after his assertion that he needs time off international cricket and might skip the ODI series against South Africa, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan asked whether the former skipper would have wanted a similar break from the IPL had he been picked in the auction. Shakib had initially refused to play the Test series against South Africa as he wanted to make himself available for the IPL but he went unsold at the IPL auction.
Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan has slammed Shakib Al Hasan after the all-rounder expressed his willingness to take a break from international cricket and not tour South Africa. Hassan also went on to question Shakib's commitment towards international cricket, asking whether he would have wanted a similar break from the Indian Premier League (IPL) had he been picked in the mega auction. "I think it is logical to think that if he was in a poor physical and mental state, he wouldn't have given his name in the IPL auction. But he went ahead with it. So does it mean that if he got his IPL contract, he would have said the same thing? We can't do anything if he doesn't want to play for Bangladesh," ESPNcricinfo quoted Hassan as saying.
Bangladesh in the fifth game of the ongoing ICC Women's 50-over World Cup on Monday, New Zealand skipper Sophie Devine said that her side is absolutely prepared for the upcoming clash against India. Amy Satterthwaite's three-wicket haul and Suzie Bates' knock of 79 runs helped New Zealand defeat Bangladesh by nine wickets in the fifth game of the ongoing ICC Women's 50-over World Cup at the University Oval on Monday. The match between the two sides was curtailed to 27-over per side after rain played spoilsport.

Hosts New Zealand registered their first win of the tournament as they inflicted a nine-wicket defeat on Bangladesh in a rain-curtailed ICC Women's World Cup match on Monday. New Zealand bowlers first restricted Bangladesh to 140 for 8 after a long rain delay before Suzie Bates hit a strokeful unbeaten half-century to power the hosts to a victory with 42 balls to spare in the match that was reduced to 27 overs apiece. The win earned New Zealand, who lost to West Indies in the tournament opener, two valuable points as they rose to the third place while, Bangladesh remain winless from their two matches and are in seventh spot.
