'I have the desire to represent Bangladesh across all three formats as I don’t want to confine myself to a particular format'
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. The 25-year-old is one of the handful of local cricketers who have been able to show glimpses in the ongoing and the previous Bangladesh Premier League season for Comilla Victorians. Anik, whose exclusion from the Bangladesh T20 squad for the upcoming Sri Lanka series led to Comilla head coach Mohammad Salahuddin criticising the selection process, spoke about how playing for Bangladesh 'A' team and High-Performance team had helped his game and the way Pakistan’s star wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan had an influence on him along with a few other topics during an interview with Mazhar Uddin of The Daily...

There were nerves and mounting fear of an elimination from the first round, but there was no shortage of excitement or drama as Bangladesh kept their hopes of qualifying for the Super 12 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup alive by beating hosts Oman by 26 runs at the Al Amerat Cricket Stadium in Muscat yesterday.
Just over three months ago, a desolate desert was all one could find in the space that the Al Amerat Cricket Stadium in Muscat currently occupies.
Ever since the shocking defeat against Scotland, one question that has been constantly asked by the Bangladeshi expats here in Muscat is whether the Tigers can qualify for the Super 12 stage and take the flight for Dubai or whether Mahmudullah Riyad and his troops will have to return home empty handed.
The majority of the crowd supporting Bangladesh at the Al Amerat Cricket Stadium in Muscat yesterday were stunned as Bangladesh made a disastrous start to their ICC World T20 Round 1 campaign, losing against Scotland by six runs.

Without the comforts of home advantage or spin-friendly tracks, Bangladesh will need to focus on proper planning and team combination as they begin their ICC T20 World Cup mission today in the opening game of the qualifiers against Scotland at the Al Amerat Cricket Stadium in Muscat.
Bangladesh will heavily rely on two of their world-class T20 performers -- premier all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and ace left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman -- for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Oman and the UAE.
The general cricketing fraternity may not relate the game with Oman but the oil-rich gulf nation is all set to host the qualifying round of the flagship event in the form of ICC T20 World Cup from tomorrow.
