Shakib Al Hasan’s decision to call it quits in T20Is has created a massive vacuum in Bangladesh’s spin bowling department in the shortest format, one that would soon spread to the other two formats as well as he is set to retire from all forms of international cricket in the matter of months.
Bangladeshi leg-spinner Rishad Hossain has been picked by Big Bash League outfit Hobart Hurricanes for the upcoming edition of the franchise T20 league.
The kind of spin Rishad produces can be an asset for the Bangladesh Test team, who have often found wanting in away series due to a lack of variety.
“I don’t think he [Rishad] is fully ready for red-ball cricket at the moment,” Shanto told the media during an event at the capital’s Pragati Sarani today.
The leggie grabbed 14 wickets in seven matches in competition, finishing as Bangladesh’s most successful bowler in the competition, and joint third overall in the tournament.
“A breakout campaign from the young leg-spinner whose 14 wickets left him equal with Rashid,” Cricket Australia said on their website.
Bangladesh leg-spinner Rishad Hossain and seamer Mohammad Saifuddin along with Shakib Al Hasan and Shoriful Islam were drafted to play in the upcoming edition of the Global T20 Canada, starting on July 25.
Bangladesh players trained at the Arnos Vale Stadium in Kingstown today ahead of their final Group D fixture against Nepal at the same venue on Monday. A win against Nepal will seal qualification to the Super 8s for the Tigers alongside group-leaders South Africa.
Clear and concise, Bangladesh’s bowling unit has been decisive in their plans so far, which has put the team on course for a berth in the Super Eight.

Bangladesh are not accustomed to seeing what leg-spinner Rishad Hossain is dishing out in the ongoing T20 World Cup.
