Mushfiqur Rahim became the first Bangladeshi cricketer to complete 5,000 Test runs on Wednesday when the hosts faced Sri Lanka in Chittagong. Playing his 81st Test, the most for any player from Bangladesh, Mushfiqur resumed his innings on the fourth day of the first Test at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium 15 runs short of the milestone. He achieved it when he nudged Asitha Fernando towards fine leg in the 16th over of the day for two runs. The 35-year-old was however lucky to achieve the feat first. Opening batsman Tamim Iqbal came close to it Tuesday when he struck 133 runs.

"Will Be There With Jasprit Bumrah...": Chaminda Vaas Lauds Umran Malik's Bowling

Former Sri Lankan pacer Chaminda Vaas reckons rookie speedster Umran Malik, who has thrilled everyone with his pace in the Indian Premier Leaguer (IPL) 2022, will become a "great bowler" for India. Playing for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL-15, the fast bowler from Jammu has been impressive with his pace and consistently clocked above 150 kmph in the speed gun. He has so far taken 21 wickets, with best figures of 5/25 and is the fourth highest wicket-taker in the tournament. "I think he (Umran) is getting better day by day and I saw him playing in the last IPL as well. He is bowling consistently and accuracy is important when it comes to T20. And he will be a great bowler for India. He will be there with (Jasprit) Bumrah, I guess if India gives him a chance. He will go a long way," Vaas told reporters in Mumbai.
