While he ignited Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier League (BBPL) with two marauding knocks that helped Dhaka Platoon win the last two matches with ease, young all-rounder Mahedi Hasan said as a batsman he is not that calculative.

According to him, if he can be calculative, he could finish the game off by his own for the team.

“See I was a top-order batsman when I started playing first-class cricket of List A cricket. Since I am also bowler, they [management] sent me for batting in different positions. But in BPL, I don’t get enough chance to bat up in the order because the team had good batting line up with quality foreign players. But this time we have injury problems in our team so I was sent to bat up in the order and I became successful. Hopefully, I will do well in the future,” he said.

“But I am not a calculative batsman. To be honest, the batsman’s brain should be clearer. If I can be calculative, I can finish the game off with my own which I can’t do in the last two matches.”

Mahedi said he is trying to learn from the mistakes he had done. At the same time, he praised his senior colleague Tamim Iqbal for supporting him during the batting.
