The promising Bangladesh bowler Mushfik Hasan is the latest potential to have emerged through the ranks. He was named in the 15-member team to face Afghanistan in a one-off Test match that will begin on June 14 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
Mushfik, who is 20 years old, has excelled in the longer version formats of Bangladesh’s domestic cricket. As a result, the bowler from Lalmonirhat was given a spot on the Bangladesh A squad that recently competed against the West Indies A side at home.
Mushfik has stated that these are the characteristics that he concentrates on initially and then attempts to ramp up his pace, which has provided legitimacy to his participation in the Test side. Strict lines, lengths, and accuracy have given his presence in the Test side credence.
Mushfiq highlighted the influence that the Bangladesh pace unite’s rise to prominence has had on young pacers like as himself, saying that it has made them more competitive. He said that the Tigers’ faster bowlers serve as a source of motivation for him, but he cites Kagiso Rabada of South Africa as his primary source of inspiration.
“These Bangladeshi pacers serve as a source of motivation for me now. He informed the press on Thursday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium that he follows Rabada (Kagiso).
Mushfik, who made his first-class debut in 2022, has taken 49 wickets while averaging 21.30 over the course of 13 matches, with three hauls of five wickets each. He is under the impression that his successes in events played over a longer period of time were a primary factor in his selection to the national squad. In addition to this, he disclosed that the reason he has been so successful with the ball in hand is because he is so stringent about making things as simple as possible.
“Praise be to Allah for the opportunity to serve. I believe that I have performed quite well in the first-class circuit, which is why I was offered this opportunity.I spent the previous year in HP, where I focused a lot of energy on improving both my health and my bowling. I’ve listened to a number of people’s suggestions. Alongside Champaka Ramanayake, Talha Jubair sir also present at the event. I talked to each and every one of you,” he said further.
“When I was playing for the A team, I played the same manner that I did when I was playing in the first-class, NCL, and BCL. In the event that I am given the chance to play for the national team, I intend to do it in the same manner.
