Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam returned in his second spell to grab two much-needed wickets for the Tigers in the two side’s Super Four match of the Asia Cup in Colombo today.
“The first time in any league is exciting for everyone,” Shoriful told reporters at the airport today.
According to Shoriful, the seniors helped them, making it easy for the youngsters to gel.
Aggression is what keeps fast bowlers ticking and when the left-arm paceman played the U-19 World Cup for Bangladesh there was plenty of that on view, especially in their triumph against India in the final.
The visitors, who opted to rest marquee spinner Rashid Khan for the dead rubber, were 14 for three after six overs.
Bangladesh left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam gave the Tigers their first breakthrough when he nicked off Afghanistan opener Ibrahim Zadran for six in the sixth over of the innings in the morning session of the second day of the only Test at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
Shoriful Islam has been a part of Bangladesh's confident pace-bowling unit that has been improving leaps and bounds in recent years. The left-arm seamer has emerged as a multi-format pacer for the Tigers since making his debut in 2021 and spoke to The Daily Star's Mazhar Uddin about his bowling and a few other topics during an exclusive interview. The excerpts are below:
Bangladesh are gearing up for the second ODI against Ireland in Chelmsford today after the first ODI was abandoned due to inclement weather and while rain remains a concern, the conditions allow the new ball to move quite a bit and provide extra bounce on the surface. Even if it proves difficult for the top-order, pacer Shoriful Islam was enjoying the experience and the challenge.
