Mamunul returns for nat'l duty
Bangladesh captain Mamunul Islam returned from Kolkata yesterday to join the national camp ahead of Bangladesh's two international friendlies against Sri Lanka this month. The 26-year-old midfielder is hopeful that Bangladesh would win both the matches.
“We want to win both the matches and we don't want a repeat of the performance against Nepal where we won one and lost the other,” said Mamunul, who will return to Kolkata on October 28.
Sri Lanka are scheduled to arrive in the capital this morning and will head off in the afternoon for Jessore, where the first match take place on October 24. Replying to a query, Mamunul said he was a bit surprised at the decision to terminate Lodewijk de Kruif, but felt the football's governing body must have taken the decision after some deliberation.
He also said being part of Atletico de Kolkata is a special experience. “I am trying to give my hundred percent in training and just waiting for an opportunity. I am hopeful that I can draw attention of my coach even if there is keen competition among the players,” said Mamunul.
