Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim has urged all the students of his alma mater--Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP)- to set their goal high.
The wicket-keeper has said that they should serve the country for long periods rather than just playing in the national team during the online interaction meeting with the current students.
“It should be our vision that a cricketer can serve his nation at the top level for 10-15 years,” Mushfiqur Rahim said.
“When I was admitted, our teachers had a goal of how many students from their batch they could give to the national team,” Rahim told a leading English web portal.
“Instead of taking part in the competitions, it is important for anyone to be able to go there and play fearlessly,” he added.
The reliable middle-order batsman also stated that it took him some time to settle in the national time.
“It took me three to four years to consolidate his position in the national team after being burst into international cricket. But Shakib has been playing well from the very beginning. It varies player to player,” he said.
“If my vision had been like that, I would have tried to adapt much earlier,” he added.
BKSP, the only sports institute of the country, is well known for the breeding ground of the country’s most of the athletes, the bulk of whom dominated the country’s leading sporting events including cricket, football, shooting, archery and so on.
Mushfiqur Rahim has been invited by Nazmul Abedin Faheem, technical director of the sports institute to take an online class to the current BKSP students amid the surge of the dreadful coronavirus pandemic.
