According to sources, Saifuddin’s recent letter to BCB has irked the selectors as the cricketer had also skipped the Bangladesh Tigers’ majority practice sessions in Sylhet and Chattogram last month.
Bangladesh seamer Mohammad Saifuddin does not always make things easy for himself whenever he speaks to the media.
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.
“We had formed a team in light of the BPL, and we didn’t deviate a lot from that squad. Saifuddin is the only player from the squad we had submitted on the 30th who didn’t make it in the final cut.”
Sure, Saifuddin has dished out glimpses of his talents with bat and ball in domestic competitions but can those sparks of promise in lower-quality contests be used to solidify faith in the 27-year-old heading into the T20 World Cup in June?
The road back to the national team has been a long and winding one for Saifuddin
Bangladesh were keeping an eye on two players who would have key roles in bolstering the World Cup squad. Mohammad Saifuddin’s three wickets and Tanzid Hasan’s debut fifty against Zimbabwe during the eight-wicket win in the first T20I in Chattogram on Friday would reassure the team management ahead of the T20 World Cup in June.
Mohammad Saifuddin returned to the national team squad for the first time in 18 months as Bangladesh Cricket Board today announced a 15-member squad for the first three matches of the Zimbabwe T20 series, starting on May 3.
The Bangladesh captain also explained why Jaker Ali Anik got the nod in Bangladesh's squad for Sri Lanka T20Is.
