Nazmul Hossain Shanto's place in the T20 World Cup squad was not for performance. As an impact cricketer. He was considered by 'technical consultant' Sridharan Sriram for playing horizontal shots on Australia's hard and bouncy wickets. Nazmul Shanto, who got a place in Sriram's good book, has played only 9 T20 matches in his career.
He scored 148 runs at a strike rate of 104.22. This is his first opportunity in the T20 World Cup.
The 20-over World Cup is being held in Australia in October-November. The Cricket Board has announced a 15-member squad for the tournament. Former captain Mahmudullah Riyad has not been included in it. It was expected that the former captain would not be included in the team due to his loss of rhythm. But the surprise was the inclusion of Nazmul Shanto. Right-handed middle-order batter Yasir Ali Rabbi and two right-handed pacers Hasan Mahmud and Ibadat Hossain will play the T20 World Cup for the first time as left-handed batters. Cricket fans are waiting to see how well these four youngsters perform on Australia's hard and bouncy wickets and how much impact they have on the team's performance. Yasir Ali got injured before the start of the Test series against the West Indies. As a result, he was out of action for quite some time. He has returned to the national team after recovering. This is the first time Yasir will play in the T20 World Cup. The young middle-order batter's career is not very rich. He has played only 5 Tests and 53 runs in 6 ODIs. He has played only one T20I match. He scored 8 runs in the only match against Afghanistan. He will mainly be played in the batting order of the former captain.
Yasir knows very well that the task is not easy, 'Of course it is a challenging matter to take the place of Riyad Bhai. Everyone knows what he has done for the country. Filling his place will definitely be a big challenge. Not easy at all. I have to maintain the standard that he has set and make it better, take it to a new level. Not just Nazmul or Yasir, Ibadat and Hasan are waiting for their debut in the T20 World Cup. Both are fast bowlers. Ibadat made his debut in the Asia Cup. Despite taking 3 wickets, he bowled only 10 overs.
Hasan Mahmud was ruled out of the Asia Cup due to injury before it started. He has recovered. In the T20 squad. These four cricketers will now be waiting for their debut in the T20 World Cup.
