DHAKA, May 21, 220 (BSS)-New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson, who was the
fifth foreign guest in ‘Tamim Iqbal’s Live Show’, expressed his interests to
play the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), the popular domestic T20 tournament
of Bangladesh, which had already been graced by many great cricketers.
The New Zealand skipper, who also leads the IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad,
never plays in BPL but said he will take part in the tournament in future if
there is no international commitment.
The two cricketers from the two countries shared many things amongst them
before Tamim invited Williamson to play in BPL.
“Kane, you definitely know that we have a T20 tournament, BPL. This is a
fantastic tournament. So I want you to come here and play the tournament,”
Tamim told Williamson in his programme, which was aired live on his facebook
page and Youtube Channel today.
Williamson replied in positive way, saying that he is also interested to
play the tournament.
“I am really interested. If there is no International commitment, I
definitely will play in BPL. The competition was really nice and the vibe is
excellent. There are many good things of the tournament. Let’s see what
happened,” Williamson, one of the best batsmen in this era, alongside Virat
Kohli, Steven Smith and Joe Root, added.
Williamson indeed is the part of ‘Feb 4’ in the contemporary cricket world
along with Kohli, Root and Smith.
Virat Kohli had already graced Tamim’s Live show, which garnered huge
plaudits because of uncovering many interesting stories of Bangladesh and
foreign cricketers, much to the delight of the fans.
Earlier, Kohli’s Indian teammate Rohit Sharma, considered as one of the
best openers of the cricket’s history joined Tamim’s live show. Faf Du
Plessis, the former skipper of South Africa also appeared in the show and
like Williamson showed his interest to play in BPL.
Pakistani legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram however was a special guest in
a show which featured three Bangladeshi former skippers-Minhajul Abedin
Nannu, Akram Khan and Kahled Masud Pilot.
