How 40 Tk ice cream turns into 80 Tk in BCB
Even though the national game of Bangladesh is not cricket. But it is at the peak of popularity. The spectators stand in line from dawn to night for tickets to watch Shakib-Tamim play on the field. But those spectators who came to the stadium were victims of irregularities and corruption. A cricket fan named Hriday has revealed the corruption of BCB.
On Tuesday (August 13), many cricket fans gathered in front of the Home of Cricket in Mirpur, demanding BCB reforms and Nazmul Hasan Papon's resignation. During the game, Hriday highlighted various corruptions in the stadium.
He said, 'We love cricket in Bangladesh. But the cricket board doesn't think about us. A burger that is available outside at Tk 60, comes to BCB and becomes Tk 150. The water of 20 Tk becomes 100 Tk.
Hriday also said, 'I once asked an ice cream seller what is the price of an ice cream? He said 80 Tk. So I said how 40 Tk ice cream becomes 80 Tk. The ice cream seller said he had to pay 20 Tk per ice cream.
The black-marketing of BCB tickets is nothing new. He said, 'We don't get tickets by standing in line from early in the morning. Because the tickets went to the board directors' relatives the night before. But BCB runs on our money.'
Crew ousts Messi-less defending champ Miami in Leagues Cup
Diego Rossi's two second-half goals launched the reigning MLS champion Columbus Crew over defending champion Inter Miami 3-2 to reach the Leagues Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday.
The Uruguayan forward lifted the host Crew level in the 69th minute and netted the decider in the 80th to dethrone Miami, this season's overall MLS season leader.
Miami star Lionel Messi did not play, as he was still sidelined with a right ankle injury suffered a month ago in Argentina's Copa America final win over Colombia.
With the victory, the Crew will play host to a Saturday quarter-final against New York City, who won 2-1 over Tigres.
Paraguayan midfielder Matias Rojas gave Inter Miami a 1-0 lead in the 10th minute and compatriot Diego Gomez doubled the margin with a goal in the 62nd before US striker Christian Ramirez answered for the Crew in the 67th, setting the stage for Rossi's winning brace.
The tournament features MLS and Liga MX Mexican sides, with Messi leading Miami to last year's inaugural crown shortly after arriving in Florida.
New York City rallied to reach the last eight.
Argentine midfielder Guido Pizarro, the Tigres captain, opened the scoring with a header in the 18th minute but New York City netted the equalizer in the 20th through another Argentine midfielder, Maxi Moralez.
Uruguayan Santiago Rodriguez scored the final goal in the 65th minute from the left side on a left-footed shot inside the far post to give NYCFC the victory.
In Cincinnati, Tai Baribo's two goals lifted the Philadelphia Union to a 4-2 triumph over the hosts.
Philadelphia grabbed a 2-0 lead on goals by Danish forward Mikael Uhre in the 51st minute and Israeli striker Baribo in the 61st.
Czech midfielder Pavel Bucha answered for Cincinnati in the 66th minute and US defender DeAndre Yedlin netted an equalizer for the hosts in the 80th minute.
The Union responded on goals by Baribo in the 82nd and US substitute Quinn Sullivan in the 84th.
- Mazatlan advances -
Next up for Philadelphia will be a home quarter-final on Saturday against Mazatlan, which defeated Cruz Azul on penalties after playing to a 2-2 draw in Washington.
Mazatlan grabbed a 2-0 half-time lead on goals by Bryan Cholula in the 40th minute and Panamanian midfielder Edgar Barcenas in the first minute of stoppage time.
Cruz Azul fell to 10 men in the fourth minute of the second half when Argentine defender Gonzalo Piovi was shown a red card.
Cruz Azul, however, was far from done as Uriel Antuna scored in the 84th minute and Colombia defender Willer Ditta added an equalizer in the opening seconds of stoppage time.
In penalties, Antuna, Ditta, and Giorgos Giakoumakis failed to convert and Mazatlan won 3-1 to advance.
In later quarter-finals on Tuesday, Toluca was at Colorado with the winner set to face Mexican champions Club America or St. Louis in the quarter-finals.
San Jose was also at Los Angeles FC with the winner set to visit Seattle on Saturday.
All-time French goals leader Olivier Giroud is available for LAFC for the first time since the 37-year-old striker's move from AC Milan in May.

Shakib started training with Pakistan team
There are fears about Shakib Al Hasan's return to the country in the current political situation, but the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced the Pakistan series squad with him. This country's best cricketer joined the team in Pakistan directly from the United States without returning to the government. He has also started practicing.
BCB released pictures of cricketers practicing at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Pakistan on Wednesday (August 14).

Rain spoils Bangladesh A's Day 3 game
The third-day game of the first four-day match between Bangladesh A and Pakistan Shaheens (Pakistan A) was called off without a ball being bowled due to persistent rain at Islamabad Club Ground today.
The home side had the upper hand in the match after taking a 245-run lead.
After a reckless batting show, Bangladesh A were bowled out for just 122 and Pakistan responded vehemently, reaching 367-4 on day 2. Umar Amin led the charge with 177.
Saud Shakil scored 76 to add misery on Bangladesh A further as their bowlers were left clueless in the assault of the home side batters. Mohammad Huraira added 39.
Saad Khan was batting on 31 with Kamran Ghulam on 20 when the bails were drawn for day 2.
Left-arm spinner Hasan Murad snapped up 2-49 for Bangladesh A while off-spinner Nayeem Hasan and pacer Tanzim Hasan took one wicket apiece.

Mbappe strikes on debut as Madrid beat Atalanta in UEFA Super Cup
Kylian Mbappe enjoyed a "great night" as he struck on his Real Madrid debut to help his new side claim a record sixth UEFA Super Cup with a 2-0 win over Atalanta on Wednesday in Warsaw.
The superstar French forward has waited years to play for his dream club and after finally signing for Los Blancos this summer at the end of his Paris Saint-Germain deal, celebrated his first appearance with a goal.
Fede Valverde broke the deadlock from close range for the Champions League holders in the 59th minute after the Italian Europa League winners held their own in the first half.
Madrid began to rack up the chances and Mbappe rifled home in the 68th minute after Jude Bellingham spotted his dart into space in the box to seal the victory.
"It was a great night, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, to play with this shirt, with this badge, for these fans," Mbappe told Movistar, speaking in fluent Spanish.
Madrid's triumph ensured coach Carlo Ancelotti equaled former Los Blancos coach Miguel Munoz on a joint-record 14 titles won at the helm of the club.
The Italian's first task this season is designing a system that can get the best out of his array of attacking stars.
Mbappe began through the middle of Madrid's forward line, flanked by Vinicius Junior on the left and Rodrygo Goes on the right, in the first look at how he might fit into Ancelotti's plans this season.
As a result, England international Bellingham played as part of the midfield trio rather than in the advanced position he began last season with such devastating goalscoring effect.
"(Mbappe) has the quality to score a lot of goals," Ancelotti told Movistar.
"What we have to look for is balance in the team -- today we didn't have that balance."
Mbappe's only chance in a tight first half arrived in the 15th minute but his shot from the middle of the box was well blocked by Isak Hien.
Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta, appearing in their first Super Cup after stunning Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final last season, came close to taking the lead when Eder Militao headed Marten de Roon's cross ahead his bar.
Bellingham was booked for a late challenge on Atalanta goalkeeper Juan Musso on a foray forward from midfield after taking a heavy touch to control a clever ball from Vinicius.
Rodrygo clipped the top of Atalanta's crossbar just before the break after being teed up by Vinicius.
Madrid stopper Thibaut Courtois, who missed most of last season injured, produced a stunning one-handed save to tip over a Mario Pasalic header at the start of the second half.
- Mbappe movement -
Madrid broke the deadlock before the hour mark through Valverde, tapping home from close range while Atalanta's defense worried about Mbappe, who was moving with more freedom.
Bellingham, increasingly influential, fed Vinicius, who cut the ball across goal for the Uruguayan midfielder to tap home.
Valverde, wearing the number eight shirt vacated by Toni Kroos who retired this summer, said he was "tremendously proud".
"It's motivating to inherit the number of a player I admire a lot, I dedicate the goal to him and my wife," said Valverde.
Vinicius should have doubled Madrid's lead when sent through on goal but Musso tipped over his effort.
Swedish defender Hien blocked from Bellingham as Madrid sought a second and then Musso thwarted the former Borussia Dortmund man.
Mbappe eventually delivered it with a lethal finish after Bellingham, named player of the match, kept an attack alive and spotted the Frenchman's clever movement.
The 25-year-old striker was given an ovation by Madrid's fans after Ancelotti brought him off in the 83rd minute, likely the first of many.
Mbappe said that he expected to improve in the weeks ahead, with Madrid's La Liga campaign starting on Saturday against Real Mallorca.
"I am sure we will get better and me first of all -- but today is a positive step," added the striker.
Rodrygo said Ancelotti had told the forwards to shift their positions frequently, something evident in the second half.
"The coach asked us to go changing positions a lot, or staying apart," the Brazilian told Movistar.
"They were man-marking, so we had to move and that's what happened during the game."

Australia's Raygun says Olympic backlash 'devastating'
Australian breakdancer Raygun has spoken out against the "pretty devastating" hatred unleashed online since her widely lampooned Paris Olympics performance.
Rachael "Raygun" Gunn, a 36-year-old Sydney University lecturer, has been ridiculed by some and cheered by others for her unique performance in Paris, where she won none of her three face-offs against other B-Girls.
Gunn thanked her supporters and said she was glad to bring them some joy, in a video from a Brussels street posted on her Instagram account on Thursday.
"I didn't realize that that would also open the door to so much hate, which has frankly been pretty devastating," she said.
"Well, I went out there and I had fun. I did take it very seriously. I worked my butt off preparing for the Olympics and I gave my all. Truly."
Gunn's kangaroo-mimicking moves and Australia-logoed tracksuit have been parodied worldwide, including by late-night US television host Jimmy Fallon.
She has faced much stronger criticism and ridicule online.
The Australian Olympic Committee has decried a "misleading and bullying" online petition that described Gunn's performance as "unethical" and questioned how she was chosen for Paris.
"In regards to the allegations and misinformation floating around, I'd like to ask everyone to please refer to the recent statement made by the AOC," Gunn said in her video.
The poll on Change.org, which garnered tens of thousands of signatures demanding a public apology from the dancer, was unavailable on the platform on Friday.
Gunn said she planned to remain in Europe for a few weeks for some "pre-planned downtime".
In the meantime, she asked the media to "stop harassing" her family, friends, and the breakdancing community.
"Everyone has been through a lot as a result of this so I ask you to please respect their privacy," she said, promising to answer more questions on her return to Australia.
Gunn's Olympic moves won support from many people, including her fellow Australian Olympians. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese praised her this week for "having a go".
Breaking will not be on the program for the next Olympics in Los Angeles in four years.
