A few days ago, Shakib Al Hasan came to the discussion by criticizing BCB. But the captain of Fortune Barisal praised the country’s cricketers in BPL. Shakib praised the pitch of Mirpur Cricket Stadium and also praised the domestic batsmen in BPL. However, even though the batsmen are doing well, the bowlers are not able to do, the captain of Team Bangladesh said to pay attention to that.
It has been seen in the past seasons of BPL that the pitch in Mirpur makes it difficult to score runs. Staying at the crease becomes difficult. However, this year the pitch is very good, due to which the batsmen are able to score runs with the bat. Shakib said, “The pitch of this year is very good compared to the previous years. I never thought that such a pitch would be available in Mirpur. It is clear that the curator has worked very hard on this pitch, he has to be appreciated. Actually, because of the good wicket, so many runs are being scored in BPL this time. As a result, the game on the field is also getting better. It’s getting exciting, and the audience is enjoying it. That’s the good side of BPL.”
The country’s batsmen have scored the highest number of runs in four matches so far in BPL. Sylhet’s Tauhid Hridyo topped the list of highest run scorers in four matches. He scored 195 runs in three fifties in four matches. The strike rate is 166.66. Another batsman of Sylhet, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, is also in the top two. Another domestic batsman – Rony Talukder – is in the top five in the list of the highest run scorers. He collected 107 runs in two matches for Rangpur Riders. He ranks fifth with a strike rate of 181.35 per fifty.
Shakib claimed that apart from the top cricketers in batting and bowling, the rest of the cricketers are also performing very well in the team. Praising them, Shakib said, “Many of the country’s batsmen are in rhythm and playing well, that’s a good thing. Shanto (Nazmul Hossain), Toudih Hriday, and Zakir (Zakir Hasan) are batting very well, it’s a great thing for the country’s cricket. The Batsman of other teams is also doing good. It’s a very good side for us. If we can maintain this form, from BPL, something good can be achieved.”
But Shakib’s thoughts are about the bowlers. Shakib said, “Our native bowlers are not able to bowl well in the overs. They are giving a lot of runs, but it is a matter of concern. We also need to learn how to bowl on such a good pitch. Then there will be balance in batting and bowling. This is how T20 cricket should be played.”
Although there are three domestic cricketers in the top five in bowling as well as batting. Dhaka Dominators pacer Al Amin Hossain is at the top. He took 7 wickets in 2 matches. Sylhet captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza is in the top two. He bagged 7 wickets in 4 matches. Rezaur is at number four with 6 wickets in 4 matches. Let’s see how the Bangladeshi players do at the end of the BPL. BPL is said to be the platform for bringing up players. In this BPL, if any domestic cricketer can draw attention, it is good for Team Bangladesh.
