Bangladesh romped into the semifinals of the Hong Kong International Sixes with an 18-run win (DLS method) over the UAE in the quarterfinals at the Mission Road Ground in Mong Kok on Saturday. 

According to sources, Saifuddin’s recent letter to BCB has irked the selectors as the cricketer had also skipped the Bangladesh Tigers’ majority practice sessions in Sylhet and Chattogram last month.

Bangladesh seamer Mohammad Saifuddin does not always make things easy for himself whenever he speaks to the media.

Bangladesh leg-spinner Rishad Hossain and seamer Mohammad Saifuddin along with Shakib Al Hasan and Shoriful Islam were drafted to play in the upcoming edition of the Global T20 Canada, starting on July 25. 

“We had formed a team in light of the BPL, and we didn’t deviate a lot from that squad. Saifuddin is the only player from the squad we had submitted on the 30th who didn’t make it in the final cut.”

Sure, Saifuddin has dished out glimpses of his talents with bat and ball in domestic competitions but can those sparks of promise in lower-quality contests be used to solidify faith in the 27-year-old heading into the T20 World Cup in June?

The road back to the national team has been a long and winding one for Saifuddin

Bangladesh were keeping an eye on two players who would have key roles in bolstering the World Cup squad.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has decided to send Mohammad Saifuddin to Qatar for further treatment as the seaming all-rounder has been suffering from a back injury. 

Members of the Bangladesh T20I side are set to depart for the West Indies today but all-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin’s participation for the series has been thrown into doubt following an injury.

Mohammad Saifuddin had been rated as one of the few genuine seaming all-rounders that Bangladesh desperately need, especially in the limited over formats.

All-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin could have been a hero during Bangladesh’s 28-run defeat against India at Edgbaston on Tuesday had he not been stranded at the non-striker’s end when Jasprit Bumrah bowled the No. 10 and No. 11 batsmen.

“As far as I know he [Mohammad Saifuddin] is experiencing some pain and it may take some time,” Akram Khan said. “I will talk to the physio [Thihan Chandramohan] about that. But Mosaddek Hossain may be fit for the next game.

Bangladesh pace-bowling all-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin may miss today’s World Cup match against Australia because of a lingering back injury. Bangladesh’s highest wicket-taker in the tournament and joint fourth-highest overall, Saifuddin has had a back issue since the World Cup warm-up game
