Naeem Islam is one of the few national discards who is still making an impact in the domestic circuit with consistent performances.

Ebadot Hossain has transformed into one of the finest bowlers in Bangladesh’s pace-bowling unit, which has started to show great promise in recent times.

The excerpts of the interview are given below:

Jaker Ali Anik clinched the player of the tournament award as he topped the run-getters’ charts with 492 runs in the six innings he played averaging 98.40.

Najmul Hossain Shanto has managed to navigate troubled waters with perhaps the best tool there is: performance.
