The distance from March 26 to August this year is not much. In a world of epidemics, time seems to pass quickly. However, at this time, the country has got a cricket star to play.
Not only the capital but also the shadow Dhaka muffs all have talent. At the edge, many more on the coast. Just want a little proper care. It is the responsibility of the cricket authorities to build the proper cricket infrastructure.
The appearance of Nasum Ahmed seemed to make the truth clear. Nasum is the son of Akkas Ali of Madhurapur village in the traditional Bhatipara union of Dirai Upazila of Sunamganj.
The genius Nasum Ahmed made his debut in Hamilton on March 26 against New Zealand. The left-arm Orthodox spinner bowled four overs and took four wickets for 19 runs in the first match of Australia’s historic T20 series.
So far, Nasum has taken 8 wickets in 8 international T20 cricket matches.
Nasum is now 26 years old. Bangladesh cricket will get its service for a long time. Who will take the helm of the country’s cricket after the retirement of the existing stars? The answer seems to be Nasum Ahmed. There are many more in the pipeline.
Not only as a bowler, but Nasum can also become a very effective batsman in the lower order. Nasum Ahmed’s batting strike rate in the domestic cricket league is 63.40. There are two fifties at the club level. Even in the last slug of the match, he can become the savior of the country.
Nasum is also eyeing the field as a lightning-speed fielder. He has nine catches in List ‘A’ category cricket. And his sliding dive to stop the boundary near the border has also caught everyone’s attention.
Now let’s take a look at some of the discriminatory practices with Nasum Ahmed. Sunamganj district cricket has a life ban against this cricketer.
According to sources, the Sunamganj district sports body banned Nasum Ahmed from playing for the divisional Sylhet team for life in the 2015 cricket league.
At one time Nasum Ahmed used to play at Paramount Cricket Club in Sunamganj. But he studied and grew up in Sylhet. Wouldn’t any other player want to lose the opportunity to play at a higher level? But what is wrong with Nasum? What is the value of virtue in this country? ♦
