The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Tuesday appointed former captain of the Bangladesh Cricket Team and previously a member of the Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) selection panel, Habibul Bashar as the new head of Women's wing.

This new role follows Bashar's recent departure from the selection panel. When announcing the change, the BCB president stated that Bashar would be appointed to a new position.

Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel, BCB Director and Chairman of the Women's Wing Committee, along with Bangladesh Women's Captain Nigar Sultana Joty, welcomed Bashar to his new role on Tuesday.

Along with Bashar's release from the selection panel, Minhajul Abedin Nannu was replaced as chief selector of the BCB by Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu.

Hannan Sarkar, also a former Bangladesh batter, joins Gazi as a new member of the selection panel.

Bangladeshi wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim is set to feature for Fortune Barishal in the forthcoming Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

Mushfiqur had played for Sylhet Strikers in the last edition. His price was fixed at 80 lakhs in the players' draft according to the category. Which means he was in 'A' category.

The top category player will play along with other star players like Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Khaled Ahmed in Fortune Barishal.

Neymar said he was relishing “new challenges and opportunities in new places” after he joined Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain on a two-year deal Tuesday, becoming the latest big name lured to the oil-rich Gulf state.

The Brazil forward, 31, ends a six-year stay in the French capital and follows in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Sadio Mane in swapping Europe for the Middle East.

“I have achieved a lot in Europe and enjoyed special times, but I have always wanted to be a global player and test myself with new challenges and opportunities in new places,” Neymar said in a statement from the Saudi Pro League.

“I want to write new sporting history, and the Saudi Pro League has tremendous energy and quality players at the moment,” he added.

Neymar was “in negotiations” on Sunday to become the latest football superstar to decamp for Saudi Arabia, leaving Paris Saint-Germain just as Kylian Mbappe was brought back in from the cold by the French champions.

A source close to PSG told AFP that 31-year-old Neymar “no longer figures in the club or manager’s plans” with the Brazilian immediately linked to Al-Hilal in the Gulf kingdom.

Another source in Saudi Arabia said that “direct negotiations” between Neymar’s agents and the Public Investment Fund (PIF) were ongoing.
