The five-team squad for the Bangabandhu T20 tournament has been finalized through a players’ draft. The players’ draft was held at Hotel La Meridiana on Thursday with 157 local cricketers.
Jamcon Khulna is spending the most money among 5 teams. The world’s best all-rounders Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah Riyadh are in Jamcon Khulna. Shakib was born in Magura district of Khulna division. On the other hand, although Riyadh was not born in Khulna, he won the BPL for Khulna. And that’s why Kazi Inam Ahmed, the director of Jamcon Group, is thrilled to have boys at home.
Kazi Inam said, “You see , if we watch domestic tournaments, the top two players like Shakib or Riyadh will not be in the same category, in the same team. We did not expect Mahmudullah Riyadh to be picked by another team in their first choice. ”
“We are very happy that the first time we got Shakib Al Hasan is the son of Khulna. Shakib has returned to the Khulna team after a long absence and will play for Khulna, ”he added.
He further said, “Mahmudullah Riyadh is our sponsor organization Jamcon Group, it is the sponsor organization of Khulna Titans in BPL. Riyadh was our Khulna Titans all the time. Riyadh is also (again). Both the boys have returned home. ”
