Mitchell Marsh recommended Bosisto to Imrul for Khulna Tigers

The move has already proven fruitful, with Bosisto delivering an impressive performance in his debut with 75 runs and helping his team beat Chittagong on Tuesday.
Khulna head coach Talha Jubair, reflecting on the decision to bring Bosisto into the squad, shared the backstory.
"Mitchell Marsh recommended Bosisto to Imrul Kayes. When Kayes sent me his video, and I watched several of his older clips on YouTube, there was no resemblance between his past and current batting. He had been away from cricket for a while due to personal reasons, which I’m not fully aware of. However, the way he has transformed his game and peaked is truly remarkable." Talha said in the post-match presentation.
Talha further elaborated on his efforts to secure Bosisto for the Khulna.
"I requested my team owner, Iqbal Bhai, to include him in the team at any cost. I told him, ‘This player is essential for our team. Please bring him in.’ Bosisto didn’t demand much; he just wanted to play and prove himself. He was once the captain of Australia’s U-19 team but somehow fell behind. Since his arrival, I’ve told him to play his natural game and perform well. He has started brilliantly."
Bosisto’s journey back to professional cricket has been inspiring, and his early performances for Khulna Tigers indicate that Marsh’s recommendation and Kayes’ faith in him were well-placed.
