The seemingly forgotten man of Bangladesh cricket, Alok
Kapali, has played another fine innings for his Brothers Union team in the
Dhaka Premier League today. The all-rounder came in at number four after the
top-order gave the team a good start and added 79 from 67 balls.
Kapali seems to have taken inspiration from the comeback of
Abdur Razzak, who featured against Sri Lanka in the second Test after four
years of international hiatus and also took 4 wickets in the first innings in
the process.
The right-handed batsman is a man in form. Indeed, he scored
an unbeaten 95 in the last game while also taking a wicket. Before that, in a
first-class game against Central Zone, he scored 165 not-out to further prove
his credentials.
Given that Chandika Hathurusigha is not in the coach of the
national team anymore, there is a chance for Kapali to make a comeback should
be continue his form.
Brothers are currently batting at 271 for 6 after 48.2 overs.
