Off-spinner Sheikh Mahedi Hasan, a peripheral character in the Tigers T20I outfit, turned up as the star of the show with four wickets in the first T20I against the West Indies.
"I don’t want to perform like I usually do. In the World Cup, I want to perform better,” Mahedi said in a video posted by the BCB on social media today
Dazzling all-round displays from Shakib Al Hasan and Mahedi Hasan and the mystifying leg-spin of veteran Imran Tahir stormed Khulna Tigers in a 78-run win in a Bangladesh Premier League fixture in Chattogram yesterday.
Mahedi, playing his first T20I for the Tigers in almost 14 months, claimed two wickets for just 14 runs with his off-spin
Player of the match Mahedi Hasan reckons the Tigers bowlers gained ample confidence after the ODI win on Saturday.
Off-spinner and all-rounder Mahedi Hasan has put his ability to bowl with the new as well as the old ball to good use in recent contests as his consistency coupled with guile has earned him a place in Bangladesh’s World Cup squad.
Bangladesh are gearing up for the T20 World Cup in Australia next month with two T20I series in the UAE and New Zealand, respectively.
Many may point out Bangladesh’s weaknesses in the T20 format to be the lack of power hitting ability alongside their fragile top order, but one should also not forget that the Tigers spin-bowling department could prove to be decisive behind their success in the ongoing Asia Cup.
Mehedi Hasan Miraz marked his Dhaka Premier League debut by stroking an 89-ball 103 for Gazi Group Cricketers against defending champions Prime Bank Cricket Club.
