The home of cricket was going on with rival Abahani Limited. The azure blue jersey holders were fighting against Pertex Sporting. While Abahani were on a good start in the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League (DPDCL), Mohammedan Sporting Club was gearing up for the jersey unveiling.
The traditionally all-black club opted for the indoor outer for the jersey unveiling during the match at the Sher-e-Bangla. Starting from the cricketers, the coaches and managers appeared in this event. The traditional club unveiled the jerseys with a team photo session around noon.
This team is made up of experience and youth. It is headed by Imrul Kayes. Mahmudullah Riyad and Mehdi Hasan Miraj were not present in the national team. However, these two stars sent video messages. Both of them have colorful dreams in their eyes, they want to bring the trophy to the team.
“I hope if we can fulfill our small goals then the team is built for our main goal to be champions. Before that we need to make sure that we can meet our smaller goals. Then, inshallah, the big goals will be fulfilled,” said Mahmudullah.
Miraj also echoed the same tune, ‘I think if we can play according to our ability, we will definitely win the title InshAllah. The most important thing is that the balance of our team is good.
Imrul or coach Mizanur Rahman Babul also commented the same. If the boys play the best, the trophy will come to the black and white camp. Mohammedan last touched the trophy in 2009-10 season, this time Mahmudullah-Imrul also dreamed again.
Just as there are regular faces of domestic cricket like Imrul-Ariful Haque in this team, there are also young cricketers like Nasum Ahmed-Naeem Hasan or Mahidul Islam-Shahidul Isla-Ariful Islam. There are great cricketers in all categories of batting-bowling, now it’s time to prove it on the field. The team will be stronger if Mahmudullah joins after the Sri Lanka series.
Mahmudullah said about the squad, ‘I am very optimistic about this team. Our team is very good. In terms of batting, we have good quality batsmen in the top order, middle order. There are good quality spinners too.’
