Mohammad Ashraful's Chances Of Returning To The National Team
Once
Bangladesh had a very highly talented batsman. His name is Mohammad
Ashraful. He was known as Bangladesh's little master. When he was in
the crease, it was very eye catching to see him batting. But he has been
away from international cricket since 2013 for committing spot fixing.
That's why he was banned from international cricket for eight years. But
this banned was reduced to five years because of Ashraful's appeal.
This is Tanim from frenzytitans 360. Today I'm going to write about
Bangladesh's former captain Mohammad Ashraful's chances of returning to
the national team.
Now let's talk about Ashraful's present state. A few days ago he had finished playing the Dhaka premiere league. He played for Kalabagan Krira Chakra. He was also the captain of the team. His team did not do well this year. Kalabagan was not qualified for the super six. But Ashraful's performance was brilliant. He played 11 matches and scored 460 runs with an average of 46.00and strike rate 73.83. He also scored 3 centuries and 1 fifty. So he had a really good time with the bat in the DPL. Ashraful committed spot fixing in the 2013 BPL. His committing spot fixing is one of the baddest chapter of Bangladesh cricket. His international banned will be over in this years August.
Ashraful is an excellent batsman. He is called the first superstar player of Bangladesh cricket. Today Bangladeah have batsmen like Tamim. Shakib, Mushfiq, Mahmudullah. When bangladesh was still improving in the international arena, Ashraful was the team's main batsman. He is a very elegant looking batsman. Some of the shots that he played was gorgeous. Ashraful's pool and hook shots were absolutely brilliant. His pool and hooks were very attractive to see. He also played the scoop shot well. He played those shots against some of the fearsome fast bowlers of the world. Ashraful always played fearless cricket. He was a very attack minded batsman. He always looked to play shots and score runs. On his day he was unstoppable. It was nightmare for the bowlers. Some of the knocks that he played were remarkable. Ashraful is the owner of the youngest test centurion. He scored this wonderful century in his debut match against Sri Lanka. But who could forget His Brilliant hundred against Australia. In 2005, in Cardiff Ashraful played a brilliant innings. Bangladesh won their first ever odi match against Australia courtesy of Ashraful's brilliant hundred. It was one of the greatest victory of Bangladesh cricket. And Ashraful was the hero of this win. Ashraful's performance was also good in 2007 ICC world cup. He played a good innings against South Africa and Bangladesh won their first ODI match against the African's. He scored a tremendous fifty against West Indies in 2007 ICC T20 world cup. He scored that fifty from just 20 balls. This is the fastest T20 fifty scored by a Bangladeshi player. Bangladeshi cricket fans still remember this knocks. Really, once Ashraful was the hero of Bangladesh cricket.
Now let's see what Ashraful did in his international career. He played 178 odi matches and scored 3468 runs with an average of 22.09. He has 3 centuries and 20 fifties. His average dose not suggest what kind of player he was. What he was that, he was a very effective player. He was a pure match winner. He played 61 test matches and scored 2737 runs with an average of 24.01 He scored 6 centuries and 8 fifties. He was also good at T20 internationals. He played 23 T20I matches and scored 450 runs with the strike rate of 125.35. He also has 2 fifties.
Ashraful is now 33 years old. He said that he still wants to play for the national team. He has a very strong desire to play for the national team again. And why he won't have such a desire? Because it is every players dream to play for the national team. But at the moment to paly for the national team is very difficult. Many players are performing well in the domestic league. But still they hardly get a chance in the national team. However, domestic league is the best way to get a chance in the national team. So Ashraful has to perform in the domestic leagues. Which he is doing it right now. The way he performed in the Dhaka premiere league, that's the way he needs to perform in the rest of the leagues. This year Ashraful will be able to play The Bangladesh premeir league. And this could be Ashraful's best chance to get back to the national team. Because the selectors give special priority to BPL. If a player performs well in the BPL he gets the chance to play for the national team. So he needs to do well in the BPL to put on that green and red T-shirt again. Ashraful still has a good enough capability to provide a goof service to the national team. He has a lot of experience. His experience could be very handy in the national team. Ashraful used to bat at number 3 position. His record is also good in this position. Bangladesh don't have a legitimate no. 3 batsman. All in all, Ashraful has to perform and perform to return to the national team. He has a very good chance to play the ICC world cup 2019. Ashraful's fans are very desperate that when he'll gonna play for the,national team. In my opinion, if Ashraful gets a chance to play for the national team he'll definitely gonna do well.
