Labuschagne dropped for New Zealand Test series

Australia chair of selectors George Bailey confirms the No.3 will be dropped after an extended lean run

Bangladesh has suffered a significant blow ahead of their upcoming Test tour of South Africa with opener Shadman Islam ruled out due to an ankle injury sustained during the ongoing second Test against West Indies in Sylhet. The injury, which could involve both a tear and a fracture, has forced the team management to seek an alternative for the two-match series.

In-form Mymensingh opener Mahfizul Islam Robin is expected to earn a place in Bangladesh's squad for the South Africa tour, having already been working closely with the national coaching staff in preparation for the potential opportunity.
