Football’s little wizard Lionel Messi moved to Spain as a child but played in the national team for his native Argentina. In cricket too, there are few cases of emigration and playing for other countries. British cricketer Robin Das of Bangladeshi origin is playing in this year’s Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). Although born in England, he is Bangladeshi by paternal sources. Interestingly, his inspiration is Bangladeshi cricketer Liton Das.

This young cricketer was with the national team even though he did not get a place in the national team of England. Robin Das was in England’s dressing room at Lord’s last year. He has fielding experience in a Test there. The budding England cricketer caught the eye very quickly with his performances and if all goes well, he might get a chance in the national team very soon.

When asked how the dressing room experience with the England team was, he told reporters, “It was very exciting for me. Any cricketer wants to represent the national team jersey. Sharing the dressing room with a team like England was a great opportunity and experience for me. Learned a lot from Big the stars. Saw how they prepared themselves during matches. It was great to be in a Test atmosphere at Lord’s. Definitely a memorable event in my career. I have learned many things from the cricketers. It’s a very good experience. “

Although he grew up in England, this English cricketer’s favorite cricketer is Liton Das of Bangladesh. Robin also said that Robin liked Liton’s batting very much and it inspired him. He said, “I have seen Liton Dash play many times, he is an exceptional cricketer. I watch his batting with heart. He was probably one of the best cricketers in Bangladesh last year in all three formats. His batting makes me happy; I think he is one of the best cricketers in the world. He inspires me. Looking forward to learning from him in BPL as well.”

Although he likes Bangladeshi cricket, Robin wants to play for England. He currently plays county cricket for Essex. Robin said about the future, “I grew up in England. I started cricket there, then I played in the county for Essex. I think in the future I will play in the England jersey if possible.”

The young cricketer made his debut for Essex in the T20 League in September 2020. Earlier, this right-handed English batsman scored an unbeaten 200 runs in a U-16 team match in 2018. He played in seven out of eight matches in the 2022 Royal London Cup, as well as matches against Sussex Sharks and Glamorgan last season.
