Don’t want to wait so long- Mustafizur
||CF Correspondent||
Bangladesh pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman said that he is eyeing consistency on regular basis.
Mustafizur picked the man of the match award for his scintillating bowling performance of 4/43 against West Indies and it has been a while since he picked the man of the match award.
Last time he got the award in Ireland on the May 2017 for his 4/23 against Ireland.
Despite being a key part of the bowling unit Mustafizur took two years to win a match on his own terms unlike the past when got two man of the match awards in his first two matches against India back in 2015. And, now he wants to collect these awards more regularly.
“I am happy that I received the man of the match. I was confident after picking the first and now I am accustomed to bowl in the slog overs. I just wish it does not take so long for my next [ man of the match] award.”
Mustafizur is considered to be the backbone of Bangladesh’s bowling unit as when he bowls well Bangladesh wins matches though injury played a crucial part in his career.
Mustafizur has had to endure a number of injuries in his career so far. The start of the ordeal was in England in early 2016 where he picked up a shoulder strain playing in the T20 Blast. A grade-two lateral ankle injury followed while he was taking part in a football drill, ruling him out of the start of Bangladesh Premier League 2017. He also missed the T20I series against Afghanistan in Dehradun, which Afghanistan won 3-0, and also missed the Tests in the Caribbean, which Bangladesh again lost 2-0. He arrived in Ireland after completing a rehab program for his ankle injury.
