Bangladesh has last chance to impress
With the Tigers having played their last bilateral series
before the World Cup, the only 'game-time' they will get until they reach
Brisbane next year will be in the Dhaka Premier League. The importance of the
competition, as a result, is bound to increase many-folds this month, with the
selectors focusing on certain players to complete their quota of 15 for the
World Cup by the first week of January.
Coach Chandika Hathurusingha, before leaving for Sri Lanka on a break, had said that he wanted to see the national players dominate the Dhaka Premier League. Following their return from the Zimbabwe series, the national players have played just one round so far. Anamul Haque's century for Kalabagan Cricket Academy and Taijul Islam's four-wicket haul for Prime Bank Cricket Club have been the only real highlights so far with regards to the national players.
There will however, be a number of players who will be looking to up their game this month in a bid to make it through to the final 15. Nasir Hossain, who was dropped for the Zimbabwe series, will be one of them. He has had an average time in the competition so far with just two half-centuries. He has scored 241 runs at an average of 48.20 and considering the fact that Sabbir Rahman has almost sealed the number seven position after his debut series, Nasir needs to improve on those numbers if he wants a national call.
Also in the line is Shamsur Rahman, who, after making a good start to the competition with four half-centuries, failed to carry on with his form. He has scored 348 runs so far, at an average of 43.50. Shamsur will be battling for the number three spot which the management is yet to settle. The Zimbabwe series saw Mominul Haque, Imrul Kayes and Soumya Sarker play at three.
