Throughout the ongoing BCB President Cup top- order failed to deliver for all the teams that had an impact on the overall scores of the teams as none of the games had seen a score over 300 runs.
Pace bowlers dominated the show in the most games but one man stood high for Shanto XI in the form of Irfan Shukkor as he guided his team to a tremendous win in the opening game to help them start the competition on a perfect note.
Irfan said that he is eyeing to show his character in the tournament adding that Mushfiqur Rahim played a big part behind his transformation through his words.
‘’This tournament is very important for me,’’ said Irfan. I was out of track for the last two years after being in the High Performance Unit for three years. I want to what is required for me,’’ said Irfan.
‘’I want to do something productive for the team. I am a top-order batsman but now I am batting at seven and my aim is to finish off the games,’’ he said adding that he is inspired by Mushfiqur Rahim.
‘’There are some senior cricketers like Mushfiqur bhai while Soumya is my team mate from the U-19 days. They are representing the country for long time and I am happy to share the dressing room with them,’’ he said.
‘’Mushfiqur bhai asked me to show the character,’’ he said. He talks less but he asked me to show the character and also insisted that the character and the approach should be the same inside the ground. I am looking forward to do it( keeping the same character and approach in the field),’’ he added.
