Over a short span in Test cricket, Mahmudul Hasan Joy has been able to find his spark from time to time. With Zimbabwe coming in for a series, Joy and the other young guns in the side approach this series to build momentum in their career. The 24-year-old opener discussed his career, his approach and the Zimbabwe series during an interview last week with The Daily Star’s Abdullah Al Mehdi. The excerpts of the interview are as follows:
“He [Joy] got hurt while fielding. It will take him about three weeks to recover,” said Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chief physician Debashis Chowdhury.
Bangladesh Cricket Board High Performance skipper Mahmudul Hasan Joy emerged as a trump card with the ball as his maiden five-wicket haul earned his side a nail-biting five-run win over Pakistan Shaheens in the second four-day match in Darwin.
Skipper Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Aich Mollah struck fifties before Bangladesh High Performance Unit were bowled out for 258 in their first innings on the opening day of second four-day match against Pakistan Shaheens at the DXC Arena in Darwin on Friday.
Bangladesh bowling coach Andre Adams was not impressed with his side letting opportunities slip through dropped catches on Day 1 of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Chattogram on Saturday.
Bangladesh team’s assistant coach Nic Pothas yesterday said the Test team’s batting unit is going through a rebuilding stage and everyone needs to remain patient, a statement that contradicts what other important figures of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had said in the days prior.
“We got dismissed playing rash shots,” said a remorseful Joy at the end-of-day press conference yesterday.
Just into his career’s 10th Test, Bangladesh Test opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy has seen the highs and lows not particularly seen in internationals. Today against the Kiwis in the first Test, there was highs and lows too, following a team-high 86 which saw him miss out on a ton but his resilience sees the game in balance after day one.
Part-time off-spinner Glenn Phillips took four wickets as Bangladesh were reduced to 310 for nine at the end of the first day of the first Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today.
