Wicket-keeper batsman Nurul Hasan Sohan, who has now long been out of favor, vowed to use this Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier League (BBPL) as the platform to firmly establish him as the finisher, something which the national team is searching for their World T20 squad and also for the ODI squad.
The 26-year old Sohan has already played three Tests, two ODIs and nine T20 Internationals but just couldn’t cement his place in the team, a thing for which he rued vehemently.
But the lad from Khulna doesn’t want that the regret for not cementing place in the national team to haunt him further and therefore he has taken this upcoming BBPL as his final frontier to quell all the doubt over him.

“Everyone sees how many 50 or 100 you are making but I think 10-run is important if it helps the team to win the game,” Sohan said on Wednesday. “Suppose I hit 100 but my team loses the game, then the value of 100 is nothing to me.”
Sohan knows in the current Bangladesh set up it is impossible for him to bat up in the order. And since he would have to bat in lower down the order, it is important to finish the game well.
He said that he is ready to take up the challenge of finishing the game well by scoring some significant runs.
“In some cases, I think in different way. Self-satisfaction matters most to me. I think if I can help the side win the game by scoring just 10 runs, then I will be happy. I have played well in National Cricket League and for A team. I had some healthy score there also. Now my challenge is to finish the game well and help the side win the game,” he remarked.
Sohan though has the hidden disappointment of not knowing well as to why he is axe from the team, he doesn’t want to give it thought rather he wants to step ahead, shrugging off that frustration.
“In the last match with the national team, I scored 47 runs. Probably there was something like team combination, that’s why many things don’t happen. But for me it is important to give my best regardless of the fact of where I play,”” he concluded.
