Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed is looking forward to make his presence felt in the preliminary camp as he is confident with his performance in the just concluded tour of India with Bangladesh A team.

Taskin bowled 73 overs in last two four-day matches and given that he is returning from an injury it is great matter of satisfaction for the pacer.

Taskin was included in the national team during the tour of Sri Lanka but failed to make it into the playing XI.

“I am happy with my return to the national team. I was injured more than one and half year. I tried to make myself fit and I’m thankful that I was with the team in the last series. Maybe I did not get to play but if I’m fit and improve in every department I hope more opportunities will come.” Taskin told on Sunday.

The right-arm fast bowler said he is exited with Russel Domingo’s recruitment as head coach that may create more scope for the youngsters to learn from the experienced coach.

“There is no doubt it is a good decision for us because he worked with South Africa national team before. I hope the youngsters, like me, will have more opportunities to learn. I’m so excited. We have many camps ahead. I will try to learn as many things as possible if I can get the chance to work with him,” Taskin said when asked what was his expectation from the new BCB head coach.

Taskin sounded positive when he heard the new appointed coach will have close eye on domestic levels as he said it will bring more seriousness in domestic circuit, “If he explore the domestic games everyone wil try to play more seriously. It will be really good for us. I hope some good results are waiting for us.”

After negligence from Tiger’s squad for World Cup 2019, pacer Taskin put an impressive performance with BCB XI during the Dr. (Capt.) K. Thimmappaiah Memorial Tournament in India and as a result the right handed pacer was included but dropped out of action during the thee-match ODI series against the Lankans but featured only in the pre-series practice match where he took 1 wicket in 8 overs with 7.13 economy.

Despite being just a part of the squad during the tour, Taskin feels more opportunity will come if he can improve himself in all departments as the he said now his all attention towards Tiger’s upcoming home series where he will try to seize every opportunity giving his best for the national team.
