The cricketers are returning to the field from Sunday after the Eid holiday. Mirpur home of cricket is full of cricketers again. The sound of the bat-ball is heard. Three teams practiced together at the academy ground after noon. They also shared the joy of Eid during practice. Tamim, Mushfiq, Mahmudullah, Shariful, Tawheed beat the academy field.
The practice has started in view of the ten round matches of the Dhaka League. Two hot favorite teams Abahani Limited and Prime Bank Cricket Club will meet on Monday at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla. Both these teams have made big budget teams in the title fight. But Abahani is far ahead in the fight. They are out of touch after winning all nine matches. On the other hand, Prime Bank has won six out of nine matches.
Tomorrow’s fight between Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Tamim Iqbal has created a different atmosphere. Two of the best in the country, Khaled Mahmud and Mohammad Salahuddin, are in the role of head coach of the two teams. Many also find their fight in this match.
The excitement that they also felt was understood in Khaled Mahmud’s voice, ‘When I face Salahuddin in BPL, I feel like I am not even close to him. Coaches rely on a team. When I played with Dhaka team…even then I lost to Comilla in the first leg. There is a difference in BPL. But we are both close teams in the Premier League. Saladin’s philosophy is different, mine is different. My coaching is similar. His coaching is different. There is no denying that one of the best coaches in Bangladesh. In BPL, when he plays against many strong teams, there is no chance to talk. But Salahuddin is not getting along with my team in the last few years in the Dhaka League.
Abahani formed the shadow team of the national team and organized the squad. Shanta, Enamul, Tawheed, Naeem, Afif, Mosaddek, Shariful, Tanzim, Taskin are in the sky blue camp. Prime cannot be held back at all. Tamim, Zaker, Iman, Mithun, Rubel, Shahadat Dipu, Alok, Mahedi, Hasan Mahmud are there. Mushfiqur Rahim joined after recovering from injury. So tomorrow’s match in Mirpurep can be assumed to be exciting.
‘Prime Bank is a very strong group. I think the Cheyenne Cheyenne fight will be what it says it is. Mushfiq’s arrival increased the strength. Except for Mushfiq who was less powerful. Mushfiqur added extra experience. The rest will be decided in the field game. Those who can hold their nerve on the field will win.’ – added Mahmud.
Apart from Abahani and Prime Bank, two more matches will be held at Fatulla and BKAP. Sheikh Jamal and Partex Sports Club will play in Fatulla. Legends of Rupganj and Gazi Tires Cricket Academy will face BKSP at number 3. Each match will start at 9 am.
