Just four years ago, Rana was nowhere near competitive cricket. The 21-year-old, who picked up a cricket ball for the first time after crossing 18, has made it to the national team in express speed.
Rana’s very first delivery in international cricket was at 146 km/h, which for a 21-year-old pacer who picked up the cricket ball after turning 18, was quite remarkable.
After an eventful opening day of the Sylhet Test yesterday, Bangladesh find themselves in a vulnerable position against Sri Lanka, paying dearly for the on-field and tactical errors they made on the day.
Bangladesh bowling coach Andre Adams asserted that there were no demons on the pitch after the end of Day 1 of the first Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet on Friday.
A pivotal opening session awaits Bangladesh tomorrow.
“I want to bowl as fast as possible. I want to maintain my line and length also. Besides, another strength of mine is giving bouncers. That effort will be there if I get the chance,” Rana told The Daily Star yesterday.
Pacer Nahid Rana received his maiden call-up as Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced a 15-member squad for the first of the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka starting on Friday at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet.
