Bangabandhu T20 Cup will provide the local players a platform to show their talent in the shortest format of the cricket, said the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) director Khaled Mahmud Sujon, reports BSS.
He believes the tournament at the same will serve Bangladesh cricket also as the team management would certainly find some more players who could plug the loopholes of some certain places for the national team.
“The tournament is a good opportunity for the local players to show their talent. While the players will be able to hog the limelight, at the same time, Bangladesh cricket will also be benefited by the tournament,” Mahmud, also the head coach of Beximco Dhaka said.
In BPL however the local players had to be under the shadow of the quality foreign players, which often resisted their way to hog the limelight. Most of the time the local players could not come in batting or bowling for the team in the most crucial period, so they were unable to expertise in it.
Mahmud is confident that the young cricketers will get a chance to prove themselves in the Bangabandhu T20 Cup as the foreign cricketers this time are not included.
“It’s a great opportunity for young cricketers. When it comes to BPL, our young bowlers can’t bowl in a crucial moment due to the foreign players. As a result we can’t find a good bowler in the death overs. We might find some talent from this tournament. It’s a big addition for the BCB to see a lot of young cricketers here who can prove themselves, “Mahmud, also the former skipper of Bangladesh said.
