Soumya Sarkar might have been overlooked by the national team for the tri-nation and the Test series, but that hasn’t stopped him from causing a storm in a Dhaka Premier League match against Gazi Group cricketers.

However, it wasn’t his bat, but the ball with which he caused problems for the opponents. Coming to ball in the middle overs, Sarkar picked up two scalps to dismantle the middle order of Gazi Group. He was also helped by Shahbaj Chouhan as the latter took three wickets himself.

Meanwhile, Khan Abdur Razzak also got two wickets while Al Amin Hossain picked two scalps to inflict damage on Gazi Group. Indeed, their great bowling bundled up the Gazi Group team for 176.

While this might be a great performance from Soumya Sarkar, it is his batting that he should be concerned about. After all, the opening slot of the Bangladesh cricket team still seems vacant with Tamim Iqbal not yet finding a suitable partner.

And bowling well might not help him get back that spot.
