After a successful test series against England Cricket team, captain Mushfiqur Rahim is now focusing on the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). He is confident he will be able to regain his form in the tournament. Mushfiq who is among the top scorers of the League will be playing for Barisal Bulls this season.
This will be his fourth team in four seasons. He played for Duronto Rajshahi in the innaugral season, followed by Sylhet Royals and Sylhet Superstars in the 2nd and 3rd season respectively. In season one he scored 234 runs at an average of 39 for the Duronto Rajshahi. Next season while playing for Sylhet Royals he scored 440 runs at an average of 40 in 13 innings. Including the knock of 86 runs which is still his highest scorer in Twenty/20 career.
Last season he was not at his best, scoring 157 runs only in 9 matches for Sylhet Superstars. He also struggled in national team after that failing to score two digit knocks on 5 occasions in his 9 next innings. Mushfiq who have played 169 first class Twenty/20 believes this format is not any ‘fun game’, as its said at times. He said, ” here every single ball is important. One or two ball can change the course of the whole game. Its very small but tensed game.”
The wicket keeper batsman wants to make of this season of Bangladesh Premier league (BPL) to improve his ability for the Twenty/20 format, ” I was unhappy with my performence last season. I have worked really hard to make a comeback this season. I want to contribute for my team, for which they selected me. The more I score, the more it will benifit my team”.
