Adil Rashid talks challenging conditions, Jos Buttlers captaincy and feisty FIFA tournaments in his first Bangladesh tour blog. After all the talk, its good to get out to Bangladesh. Coming here is something new for a lot of the lads. Its a new experience as well with the weather conditions and the whole atmosphere. I think everyone is looking forward to it. It should be a good tour ahead and hopefully we can do well. This weekend on Sky Sports Mix Watch Bangladesh v England ODI on Sky Sports Mix We had our first tour match on Tuesday in tricky conditions. It was very challenging, it was 40-odd degrees and the humidity was fairly high as well but we have to get used to it fairly quickly. It was completely different conditions for us but, at the same time, it was enjoyable and were looking forward to the next two weeks or so. Obviously, the game was also Jos Buttlers first here as captain and I think hell be very similar to Eoin Morgan: a very positive, very aggressive captain, always looking to take the aggressive, positive option.He went very well on Tuesday, both as a batsman and with his keeping. His captaincy was good too but in games like that it is hard to tell, its more about bowlers getting overs under their belt so he was forced to rotate. Jos Buttler will be a positive captain, says Rashid I definitely think he will lead by example but then whatever is on his mind, he is going to say too. When he talks everybody is going to listen because when he does talk, he talks a lot of sense and with a lot of maturity.He is a very positive character in the way he speaks and the way he goes about his cricket. I think hell be a great leader for us in this one-day series. I think hell do exceptionally well. He has a strong mind-set and, like I said, hes a positive character.Personally, coming to these places with conditions like these where people say it favours the spinners, its about enjoying that challenge and trying to embrace it. Firstly, youve got to adapt to the conditions and then try to really enjoy it. It is going to be a challenge as well because well be bowling to good players of spin, who have been brought up playing spin but Im just looking to enjoy the craft of bowling leg-spin in these conditions and finding a way to succeed out here.Every country you go to you have to adapt and bowl a bit differently, bowl different paces or whatever and its the same out here. You have to find that pace and you have to find it pretty quickly. Its exciting and Im really looking forward to it.In general, whether things are going my way or not, I try to have a positive attitude but since the Big Bash last winter - that went pretty well for me - and the ODI series with Sri Lanka and Pakistan, things have gone well for me with England, with the white ball. Rashid enjoyed a superb white-ball summer for England Whether I perform or not, Im confident in my skills and my ability. Its about going out there and having fun; if you have a good day, you have a good day, if not, it isnt something to worry about. You have good days, you have bad days and that is just part of cricket. At the moment, Im fairly confident in my game and hopefully I can just carry on like that. Rob Key checks out the pitch ahead of the first ODI between Bangladesh and England in Dhaka on Friday. Away from the cricket, weve been here for four or five days and so far weve not been out of the hotel in the evenings. The only place weve been to so far is to the ground and back. There is a lot of free time and so weve been playing a lot of FIFA. Some of the lads have brought their Xboxs and their PS4s with FIFA 17 so there has been a lot of competitions, a lot of banter and a lot of feisty people!There are a lot of jokes flying around and that is keeping us going. In the evenings well all go to somebodys room - it has been Sam Billings so far - and stay there for a couple of hours, have a few games and a bit of a laugh with all the boys. Sam Billings thinks that he is a big dog when it comes to FIFA, according to Rashid I would say Im okay but there are some who think theyre pretty good. Billings actually thinks hes a big dog when it comes to FIFA but he has his ups and downs. There are a few who are pretty good but I hold my own.Im sure the competitions will continue throughout the tour but, of course, our main focus is the cricket, starting with the first ODI on Friday.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.

The Huskies routed Notre Dame 79-58 in the first championship game featuring undefeated teams, winning their record ninth national title. Auriemma broke a tie with Pat Summitt and Tennessee for most all-time, doing it in her backyard. Breanna Stewart, who was The Associated Press Player of the Year, scored 21 points to lead the Huskies (40-0) while Stefanie Dolson added 17 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists. Auriemma took out his senior centre with a minute left and the game well in hand with the pair embracing in a long hug. "We beat a great, great team," Auriemma said. "Notre Dame is a great team. For them to have the season they had and lose their starting centre and to do what they did, I cant say enough about their players, coaching staff and it took everything we have. I knew if we played great wed have a chance to win." The victory also meant that UConn is now the centre of the college basketball world with both the mens and womens teams winning the championship in the same year again. The mens team beat Kentucky in the title game Monday night. This pair of victories came a decade after the Huskies became the only school to accomplish the feat. "I couldnt be prouder of what the men did last night," Auriemma said. Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw congratulated the UConn coach when they shook hands after the game. "I said something like, I thought we were playing the Miami Heat for a while you guys are just that good. What a great season, you know things like that," McGraw said. "I thought ... LeBron was the only thing they were missing." While the names change at UConn, from Rebecca Lobo to Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore and now Stewart, Auriemma has been the constant, winning nine titles in only 20 seasons -- including the last two. Hes never lost in a national championship game. "Congratulations to the UConn Huskies for winning the 2014 NCAA National Championship!," Summitt said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press. "My compliments also to coach Geno Auriemma for winning his ninth national title. He has accomplished this feat in record time." It was the fifth unbeaten season for Auriemma and UConn and the first time the Huskies went 40-0 -- matching Baylor as the only schools to accomplish that feat. The victory was also Connecticuts 46th straight dating back to last seasons NCAA tournament title run. Its the third longest streak in school history -- well short of the NCAA record 90 straight they won. The loss was Notre Dames third in the title game in the past four years. Kayla McBride finished off her stellar career with 21 points to lead the Irish, who were looking for theiir first championship since 2001.dddddddddddd After proving to be no challenge for the Huskies during the first 15 years of the rivalry which began in 1995, Notre Dame had owned the series lately, winning seven of the previous nine meetings. UConn though has won the last two, eliminating Notre Dame in the Final Four last season before topping them in the championship game this year. The two former Big East rivals, who have no love lost for each other, put on a show in a game that womens basketball hoped could transcend the sport. The coaches added to the drama of the game with their verbal sparring on Monday. But it was Auriemma who got the last word again. Even with the loss, it was a spectacular season for the Irish. Notre Dame lost Skylar Diggins to graduation and changed conferences to the ACC. Neither mattered as they ran through their opponents, winning by an average of 25.6 points while taking both the conference regular season and tournament championships. The Irish lost senior Natalie Achonwa to a torn ACL in the regional final win over Baylor. Notre Dame wore warmup shirts with Achonwas nickname "Ace" below her No. 11. The team played inspired basketball in the Final Four win over Maryland where Notre Dame outrebounded the Terps by a record margin. The Irish couldnt muster a similar effort against UConn and its gigantic front line. Stewart, Dolson and Kiah Stokes dominated the interior. The Huskies outrebounded the Irish 54-31 and held them to a season-low in points. After the teams traded shots early on, Stewart -- who earned outstanding player of the tournament honours for the second straight season -- fueled a 16-0 run as the Huskies, who have played stellar defence all season, held the Irish without a point for nearly five minutes. Stewarts lay-in with 11:02 left made it 22-8. A minute later, Dolson had an acrobatic tip to Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis for another layup. The Irish stayed in the first half by hot 3-point shooting by Michaela Mabrey and Jewell Loyd. Trailing 37-25 with 4:09 left in the first half, the pair sparked a 13-6 run, hitting three 3-pointers which brought the Irish faithful to their feet. UConn led 45-38 at the half, shooting 57 per cent from the field and having 16 assists on their 21 baskets. The Huskies closed the door on any Irish comeback scoring 18 of the first 22 points in the second half to put the game away. Stewart and Dolson had 10 points during the burst. "Im probably one of the luckiest people in the coaching profession because I get to coach players like Stefanie and Bria" Hartley, Auriemma said, fighting back tears. "Yeah, I get to coach guys like that and thats why we can do what we do." Dolson had promised President Barack Obama at the White House that the Huskies would be back, and UConn delivered.
