Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu is a well-known face in Bangladesh cricket. His cricket sense, cricket knowledge and interpretation-analysis are appreciated in all quarters. However, as he was not on the board for long, he was not involved in club cricket; Even his former team Abahani is not seen in the field. Could it create a little obstacle for him to understand the new responsibility?
Lipu said, ‘I will not comment on this right now. I will observe for now. Then I will say.’
