The 22-year-old left-arm pacer spoke about his game among other things with Mazhar Uddin of The Daily Star during an interview.
Shoriful is leading the wicket-takers list in this year’s BPL, having taken 22 wickets in 12 matches at an average of just 15.86.
Jaker Ali Anik came to the fore when he smashed three consecutive hundreds in the 2022-23 Bangladesh Cricket League, ending up as the leading run-getter of the tournament.

While the media and fans are furious over Bangladesh’s performance in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup where the Tigers are virtually out of the contention for the semi-final spot followed by the three consecutive defeats in the Super 12 stage, head coach Russell Domingo is keen to focus on the positives before heading into their fourth game against South Africa in Abu Dhabi today.
Since star allrounder Shakib Al Hasan has been ruled out for the remaining two matches of the ICC T20 World Cup due to his hamstring injury, it will be a tough ask for head coach Russell Domingo and the Tigers’ team management to field a balanced playing eleven on their fourth Super 12 encounter against South Africa in Abu Dhabi tomorrow.
