Women Ashes series, odi was completed and now T20 series is progressing and two games of series was played. 2 nd T20 game was played today and this game was played between Australia-W team and England-W team. England-W team won toss and they elected field first and gave a bat chance to Australia-W team. Australia-W team set 185 runs target in 20 overs by losing 5 wickets. Tahlia and Grace played very well in last of inning and Tahlia scored 48 runs in 35 balls and hitted eight 4s and Grace made 35 runs in 17 balls and hitted two 4s and three 6s. This was close game and Australia-W team won game by 6 runs and won game by DLS method. Megan showed great effort in bowling and she took down 2 wickets in 4 overs and gave 32 runs. England-W team chased down 168 runs in 19 overs and lost game by 6 runs. Congratulations Australia-W team to win 2 nd game.

The second match has being progress, Australia Women has been playing the game with a lot of hard work and dedication to win the first T20 match and win the second match as well.  It has become difficult for England Women to play and win this series because of the strength of Australia Women which is not allowing them to succeed anywhere today.  Australia Women have played 20 overs innings which has scored 185 runs with great effort and effort.  England Women's batsmen can achieve this target, judging from the previous match, they will lose this match too.  Since the England Women batsmen did not score 198 runs, this target is also very similar, so we can hope that Australia Women can win this match as well.  If such hope cannot be pinned, then one can expect their good bowling which is quite good and strong against which England Women's batsmen are weak.

Shakib Al Hasan was not only left out of the Champions Trophy for his bowling action but also because of the dirty politics of the selection panel. After dropping Shakib Al Hasan from the team, an important member of the selection committee confirmed that Shakib Al Hasan will not be able to bowl now. And we could only take him as a batsman but they already had a better batsman in his place. Now my question is Shakib Al Hasan is one of the highest run scorer for Bangladesh in World Cup. Shakib Al Hasan has batted at a better strike rate and better average than the best batsmen in Bangladesh at present. Besides, he has enough experience of playing in big tournaments. Shakib Al Hasan is only a batsman, if for this reason Shakib Al Hasan's name is not in the Champions Trophy, then I will strongly condemn this matter. In general, Shakib Al Hasan will be excluded from the team, these are just excuses.

Women Ashes series:

Odi series was played and won the Australian -W team of 3 games and 0 win England-W team. 1 st game of T20 series was concluded today and again Australia-W team was won this game and Australia-W team set 198 runs target in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. Beth effort in game was got a player of game award because her struggle was excellent and she scored 75 runs in 51 balls and hitted eleven 4s. Tahlia also showed effort in end of bat turn and she made 26 runs in 9 balls and hitted four 4s and one 6s. England-W team chased down 141 runs only and lost game by 57 runs. Beth player also took 2 wickets by catching. Opening of England-W team was very poor and both opener made great pressure by losing quick wickets and Sophia effort was useless and she made 59 runs in 30 balls. Congratulations Australia-W team to win 1 st t20 game.

Shakib Al Hasan is good player of team and team need that kind of player and Bangladeshi cricket had no that kind of player because he made many records. He have to talk with the BCB because it is matter of country and government should take actions about that . Many players in the team are low confident but team need high confident players . Bangladesh team is low quality team because many of the big players are not part of team and in this tournament, Bangladesh will be out of the game in the first round.Shakib has fans all over the World and they will miss Shakib because he could make tournament interesting because there are very less players who can hit strongly and he is one of them.

I still remember the question that Bangladesh got a chance to play in the 2025 Champions Trophy because of Shakib's controversial decision in the World Cup. Shakib received a lot of criticism in the cricket world due to his controversial decision in that World Cup match but still he said that my country comes first and then anything else. That is, he didn't think about anything personal, but because of the team's needs, he took such a decision so that his team could play the Champions Trophy, but still BCB did not include him in the team for the Champions Trophy. Maybe BCB is not saying anything directly but we are not left to understand that Shakib Al Hasan will not play any match wearing Bangladesh jersey and maybe through social media one day we will know that Shakib has retired from all forms of international cricket.

Decision to leave Shakib Al Hasan out of Champions Trophy team is surprising and raises many questions. Considering his great performance in World Cup it was unexpected that he was not chosen for team. His batting average and strike rate are better than those of best batsmen in Bangladesh right now. Also his experience playing in big tournaments would have been very helpful. Reason that he can only be considered as batsman and not a bowler is not good one especially since he is better batsman. It seems like there might be other reasons why he was left out and reasons given do not seem true.

Shakib Al Hasan may not have been dropped because of his age but his bowling action was not right for which he was dropped. As we all know that champions trophy will be 50 overs i.e. this tournament will be in ODI format. So even though Liton Kumar Das played well in a few matches in the Bangladesh Premier League, he did not perform well in the ODI format. He did not perform well in the ODI series that Bangladesh played against the West Indies. Liton Kumar Das has not performed consistently and regularly in ODIs for which he has been dropped from the team. Moreover, according to your mentioned squad, Bangladesh has become a very strong team because this team has very good batsmen, very good bowlers and all-rounders.

Shakib Al Hasan is almost 38 years old, and it was not really a surprise that he was dropped from the Champions Trophy. But the absence of Litton was shocking, after his great form at the Bangladesh Premier League for Dhaka Capital. During the last two matches, he scored a total of 198 runs. Anyway, after the news came out, Litton issued a statement saying that his exclusion was perfectly justified and he wasn't performing up to the level during the last few months. Najmul Hossain Shanto is the captain BTW.

They need to work hard and also need experience. After losing the first match, Ireland women's team had a chance but they could not win the second match either. In the second match, India women's team gave a big target of 370 runs and Ireland women's team could not chase it. They finished their innings with just 254 runs after batting 50 overs. In this match, the top order of India women's team performed brilliantly. Everyone scored well there. Especially a century by Jemimah Rodrigues played an important role in increasing the total score of the team due to which India women's team was able to give a target of 370 runs. On the other hand, Coulter Reilly of Ireland team played an innings of 80 runs. The rest of the teammates could not do as well as needed
That's why it is losing the series many times, if it can master it, it can win every match.  But she could not succeed in that which could have won the match with an easy target and if not the series she could have scared India women by winning the match which was equivalent to winning her series but she did not play well in that either. Actually India women's bowling is very pressure which Ireland women can't face because they are weak due to which they are not able to score runs and their pressure is not so much and India women's batsmen scored 435 runs easily takes  Ireland women need a lot of hard work and good performance and if they don't get it they won't be able to face anyone which will be very detrimental to them.  If it plays a series or a league with every such team, it will lose every match which will not give them any advantage.  If it plays hard, it will be a lesson for them, otherwise they have no solution.

India team is definitely strong on Indian home ground but to play against them, the opposite team will have to do well in both bowling and batting otherwise it will be difficult to compete.

I mentioned about this earlier. Shakib is almost 38 years old and he is mostly focusing on franchise T20 leagues nowadays. I believe that the selectors did a good job by dropping him from the squad. And regarding Litton Kumer Das, his form has been pathetic in recent times. So his exclusion is also justified. In fact, even Litton clarified that the selectors were right in dropping him. All that said, I would say that the chances of Bangladesh progressing to the knockout phase in the champions trophy looks very dim.

This isn't ideal since there are way, way too many leagues being played around the world these days. Top cricketers usually have the time for only prestigious leagues like the IPL, Top ICC tourneys, High profile test series etc these days.

It's better to focus on those prestigious tournaments and refine them further instead of starting new tournaments in my personal opinion.

Yes, the Bangladesh Cricket Board has announced the team for the Champions Trophy, but some important players are missing from the Bangladesh team. You mentioned that they announced the team without Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Kumar Das, Shakib Al Hasan is Bangladesh's number one player, he is the best in every way. Without him, the Bangladesh team is already very weak, they have also announced the team without one more batsman. Liton Kumar Das was not in form but is now slowly starting to return to form. A few days ago, he had a very good batting performance in a match and he scored the most runs in that match. I think the Bangladesh Cricket Board's selection panel should have announced the team through proper thinking.

The European T20 Premier League (ETPL) will run from 15 July to 3 August 2025. The specialty about this league is that for the first time in the history of the T20 franchise cricket, multiple national boards will be jointly managing a league. And actually this is a great idea, that can be considered by even test playing nations.

For example, why can't Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket jointly operate a league, that can replace the BBL and the Super Smash? I would recommend 6 teams from Australia and 2 from New Zealand. Another suggestion is to have a combined league for South Asia (minus India). I would recommend 3 teams from Pakistan, 2 each from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, and one team from Nepal to have a 10-team tournament.
