Bangladesh’s injured pace bowler Taskin Ahmed said on Wednesday that he is eyeing to return back to competitive cricket from third phase of National Cricket League, country’s traditional first-class tournament.
Taskin was seen bowling in the nets against Tamim Iqbal at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Wednesday.
According to his rehabilitation program the pace bowler is expected to do running session on Thursday while bowl six overs on the following days.
‘’It [bowling followed by running the other day] is going in this manner for the time being,’’ Taskin told reporters at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium after completing his bowling practice.
‘’I am eyeing to return to competitive cricket with the third round of NCL and the rest depends on the will of the Almighty because I have seen that I had been troubled often when everything was going smoothly in my life,’’ he said.
Taskin injured himself in the nets at Dhaka while honing his bowling skill when Bangladesh was playing Afghanistan in the one-off Test series at Chittagong.
The right-arm pace bowler sustained pain on his left side and later it was revealed that he sustained grade one tear that eventually it ruled him out from the opening two rounds of NCL.
According to the bowler the rehabilitation program is designed by BCB new physiotherapist Julian Calefato and he insisted that unless he regains his fitness fully it would be unwise for him to return back to competitive cricket.
Taskin replaced Saifuddin in the Bangladesh team during their last tour of Sri Lanka this year but did not feature in any of the three one-day internationals after failing to prove his worth in the practice game in the island.
Injury had been a major concern for the pacer as he was not picked for the World Cup after failing to recover in time.
