Nasir Hossain, Sabbir Rahman, Mohammad Mithunrao are the names of Bangladesh cricket's regrets. No one could settle in the team due to not taking advantage of the opportunity. Someone has lost himself in various controversies.
Nasir got knocked out when he was in great shape in his career. The Bangladesh team lacked a clean hitter, Sabbir came into the team and showed his potential. But he too was lost. The next time in 2022, when Shakib Al Hasan was the captain, the selectors gave him another chance in T20. However, he did not return because he failed to use the lifeline.
Imrul Kayes has three centuries and a 90-run innings in the last five innings. Couldn't take advantage in the last two matches. Dropped from the team. Then the selectors did not give him a chance. Mithun was unsuccessful despite getting enough opportunities.
Experienced all-rounder Shakib also considers these cricketers 'unlucky'. A video of Shakib's interview has been released by the Facebook page of Abu Dhabi T-Ten League team Bangla Tigers. There the presenter wants to know the names of the unfortunate cricketers of Bangladesh.
Shakib also said without hesitation, 'Nasir Hossain, Sabbir Rahman, Imrul Kayes – there are many more such players. This is actually a lot… It can be well answered by the selectors. There are a lot of players who are unlucky, get along with the ones you named — there are a lot of players whose careers were much shorter, maybe they could have done better.'
According to Shakib, 'Not all players get equal opportunities. Some more, some less. Shakib said this is enough opportunity, 'Actually that's how the game is. That is you have to select 15 people, then 11 people. Those who get opportunities from there actually have a responsibility to perform. Some may say, some have less opportunities. As it happens, not everyone actually gets a chance. It is not possible to give it.'
There is also a matter of the trust of the selectors, said Shakib, 'Your team, you are running the team, you can't trust everyone in one way, you can't even give a chance in one way. Some will feel after one match, no it won't feel like it. He will not be able to see anyone again. This is actually the case. It's nothing wrong.'
Whatever opportunities are given, they should be used — that's the main point when Shakib said, 'What is happening, some will get less opportunities and some will get more opportunities. For the one who is getting less, that is enough opportunity, for the one who is getting more, that is enough. How can a player match his responsibility from there.'
