The Global Super League is going to be held at the Guyana National Stadium in Providence from November 26 to December 7. Rangpur Riders will play from Bangladesh in this tournament. Afif Hossain is among 9 local cricketers in this squad led by Nurul Hasan Sohan. He is determined to show his potential in this new global tournament.
Rangpur started preparations for the Global Super League at Mirpur's academy ground from Thursday. Afif spoke to the media after practice on Friday. He will play for Khulna Tigers in the next BPL. However, this batsman expressed gratitude to the club for getting the opportunity to play in the Super League for Rangpur.
Afif said, 'It will definitely be there (opportunity to attract attention). Rangpur Riders is giving us such an opportunity. Such an opportunity does not always come. Hope to do well for Rangpur Riders.'
If you do well in this tournament, you will have a chance in other tournaments, he thinks, 'Such a tournament is definitely a good opportunity for everyone. Because playing abroad is definitely a big opportunity. If you can do well in such tournaments, chances will definitely come in other tournaments in the future.'
The year is coming to an end. Still could not put on the national team jersey this year. Afif has no regrets about it. For now, his goal is to play in the Super League final, 'I'm not thinking about that much at the moment. We can play the final in the tournament. There is not much to say about personal goals, I will try to give my best for the team.'
The Rangpur squad will leave the country for the West Indies on November 22.
