In the first match of the three-match T20 series, Bangladesh lost by 3 runs against Sri Lanka due to extravagant bowling. Captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto made the ball with 6 men in that match. The best bowling (1/32 in 4 overs) was done by Rishad Hossain.
Bangladesh returned to the series by winning the second match. Rishad bowled well in this match too. Considering the bowling figures of the 6 bowlers of the day, he was in the top three. This right-handed legspinner has spent 21 runs in 3 overs.
Rishad does not get a regular place in the team despite bowling well. He played for Comilla Victorians in this year’s BPL. Although the team reached the final, Rishad was played in only 4 matches.
Besides, Rishad is kept as an option in domestic cricket as well. Does not get a place in the eleventh regularly. As a result, the opportunity to show his skills does not come like that for him.
Shanto praised the bowlers after winning the match against the Lankans on Wednesday. At this time, the Tiger captain also talked about these things that happened with Rishad.
Shanta said, ‘I think it is very difficult for him. Not many matches are played in domestic cricket. It’s unfortunate that teams don’t play him. It is not known why it does not play. But the number of matches he has played, he has bowled very well. In every match. In any condition in any situation. He bowled very well against a big batsman.
‘Tough for him. Still he prepared himself well. The plan that is given to him, he tries. I hope that if he gets a chance to play more domestic matches in the future, it will be easier for him in the international arena.’- he added.
Shanta added, ‘Of course he has improved a lot. His length is much better than before. Can be told in one place. Also working on variations. I think if he can continue the way he is playing, he will do better in the future.
