Bangladesh name World T20 squad – Cricket News Roundup – Part 4 – August 16, 2012
Bangladesh Cricket Board on Thursday, August 16, 2012, named their 15-man final squad for the World T20 Championship, to be held in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 next month.
Medium-pace bowler Farhad Reza is the only change in the squad that toured Europe last month. The Rajshahi pace bowling all-rounder has replaced http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nazmul-Hossain-c78993, who has had a struggling tour of Europe, going wicketless in the two games played during the
itinerary.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Akram-Khan-c42577 said that Farhad's all-round abilities earned him selector’s nod for the esteemed tournament. "We made one change to the squad that toured Europe by bringing in Farhad in place of Nazmul. Farhad gives us a batting option
down the order apart along with his role as a seamer," Akram told ESPNcricinfo.

http://www.senore.com/Cricket/George-Dockrell-c59135 on Wednesday blamed batsmen for his side’s failure to qualify for the Super League quarterfinals.
"I think we’ve let ourselves down in all three games with our batting," said Dockrell while speaking to media after his side’s 14-run win over http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nepal-c2965.
The top two teams from each group qualified for the Super League quarterfinals and Ireland finished third on points table, with only one win in three games. The bottom two teams from each of the four groups will now compete in Plate Championship quarterfinals.

“Nobody should be in any doubt about value of Andrew Strauss' contribution to the England team,” said Collier as Strauss geared up to play in his 100th Test, against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, at Lord’s today.
“He has been an integral member of three Ashes-winning sides - twice as captain - and as well as being an outstanding leader and a consummate professional, a superb ambassador for the sport as a whole,” he added further.
The Lord’s Test against South Africa, which got underway today, marked Strauss’s 100th Test as player and 50th as England’s captain.
