Many of the top performers of the recently-concluded Dhaka Premier League (DPL) couldn't deliver impactful performances for the Bangladesh 'A' team in their three-match one-day series against New Zealand which concluded yesterday in Sylhet.
The primary responsibility of national selectors is to identify players capable of fulfilling roles that contribute to the national team’s goals. To do so effectively, the selection panel is expected to attend a significant number of domestic matches. However, questions have emerged over the selection panel’s noticeable absence from matches held at BKSP during the Dhaka Premier League (DPL), the country’s premier 50-over competition.
Abahani completed a three-peat of the Dhaka Premier League with a commanding six-wicket victory over rivals Mohammedan at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Tuesday.
The weather, however, predicts bad news for Mohammedan, with forecasts of rain throughout the day potentially disrupting the match.
It's not just the board that's been caught napping. Hridoy’s own attitude throws up red flags about a wider issue.
Mohammedan Sporting Club captain Towhid Hridoy’s suspension saga took a new turn yesterday after he was handed one demerit point for showing dissent after being given out during their Dhaka Premier League (DPL) match against Gazi Group Cricketers in Mirpur.
The situation, both on and off the field, is disheartening. The national team’s struggles, coupled with ongoing match-fixing allegations and administrative chaos in the domestic arena, mirror the dysfunction of the previous regime Faruque promised to reform.
Nasum Ahmed’s unbeaten 13-ball 21 earned Mohammedan Sporting Club a thrilling four-wicket win over Gazi Group Cricketers in their penultimate Super League match in Mirpur on Saturday and also pushed the title race of the ongoing edition of the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) to the final day.
While Bijoy's return may look like a one-off decision, it appears the selectors are willing to give this chapter a few more pages.
