DHAKA, April 19, 2019 (BSS)- Leaving behind his disappointment of being
axed from the Bangladesh’s World Cup (WC) squad, fast bowler Taskin Ahmed
hits back in form with an emphatic performance in a Dhaka Premier League
(DPL) game today.
Playing for Legends of Rupganj, the pace speared claimed 4-54, in a gem of
fast bowling against Prime Doleshwar Sporting Club at BKSP-4 ground, to
indicate that he is close to regain the form that made him go-to bowler
during Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).
Taskin snapped up 22 wickets for 12 matches in BPL before being sidelined
by an unfortunate ligament injury. The injury was key in his axe from the
World Cup squad as the selectors were not convinced that he had got back his
match fitness adequately.
However, the selectors still kept the door ajar for him by saying that all
is not over for Taskin as they may still bring up change in the squad till
May 22, the last deadline of bringing any changes to squad without the
permission of International Cricket Council (ICC).
Taskin broke down to tears after coming to know about his axe from the
squad as he left no stone unturned to prove his fitness.
However, he calmed him down and took it as a challenge to prove that he is
on the way to regain his best form.
“World Cup snub was really disappointing for me and I couldn’t hold back
my emotion but life should go on,” Taskin said on Thursday. “I will play rest
of the Super League matches to prove my fitness and regain my best form.
Let’s see what happened.”
Taskin though proved to be expensive by conceding six runs per over in his
nine overs bowling, he was fast and unsettled the batsmen with raw pace. He
will get two matches in Super League of DPL to force the selectors to
reconsider their decision.
