Bangladesh seals historic win
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 21 - 07 - 2009

Bangladesh recorded only its second ever Test series win and its first away from home here on Monday when it beat hostsWest Indies by four wickets in the second and final Test to seal it 2-0.
The tourists, also winning an unprecedented second successive Test, chased down the target of 215 to win by four wickets with stand-in captain Shakib Al Hasan winning it in style with a six to end 96 not out. Bangladesh won the opening Test last Monday in St. Vincent by 95 runs.
The series win comes against a much weakened and inexperienced West Indies side as most of their stars had boycotted the series in a dispute with their governing body over pay.
Injured Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza has, meanwhile, been ruled out of the one-day series against West Indies starting later this month, the Bangladesh Cricket Board said on Monday.
Mortaza fell awkwardly while bowling on the third day of the first Test at St. Vincent earlier this month, limped off the field without completing the over and did not bowl further in the match.
Pace bowler Shahadat Hossain, left-arm spinner Enamul Haque Jr. and uncapped wicketkeeper Sahgir Hossain will also return home after the Test series, the BCB said.
Cricketers reprimanded
Bangladeshi cricketers received a stern telling off from the nation's lawmakers for lacking discipline and failing to dine together while on tour abroad.
Officials from the Bangladesh Cricket Board were summoned before the Ministry of Youth and Sports' parliamentary committee on Sunday and ordered to keep close tabs on players after reports surfaced of unruly behavior.
