Ashraful declared that this DPL will be his last list-A tournament. He plans to retire after next NCL/BCL this year as a professional cricketer. He has joined Shakib at Mohammedan.
Wow can't believe Sir Ash is gonna retire...well I can, but man that will stir up some emotions for me. I was one of the OG Ashraful fans along with cricman and Murad and I'm sure many others. I had high hopes for him, before finally abandoning his "talent and potential" during his match fixing scandal in 2013. There were countless lows, but also some incredible highs in an era when BC forums were always buzzing and Bangladesh only won 1-2 games against top teams per year.
No one divided the forum quite like Ash, and yet no one unified the forum in ecstasy on the rare "Eid" days that he fired either.
His 158* is still one of the most unexpected innings in Bangladesh cricket history. That run-a-ball 100 vs McGrath and Co can still give you goosebumps.
Long live Sir Ash.

Looks like Mohammedan will not be able to live up to their pre-season hype this year either, lost by 128 runs to Gazi Group (made of a young group of players)!

That's a big problem - we don't like a particular player, we can diminish his achievements at domestics by trashing the domestic league. Sabbir was taken to A-team tour to West Indies last year, after DPL. He has done well there as well. I would value performances from that A-team tour much higher than bullying of Ireland at home.

Honestly, these are the situation a player needs when he wants to get back to the team since it allows him to do something special and make it a one-man show. But sucks for Riad. We need an inform Riad for the WC, instead, we will be stuck with that fata$$ who can't run and bat for sh*t.

Yeah, wickets are slowing down, not pacer friendly (unless you're master at cutting the ball like Musta or Mash) or batter friendly anymore . MJoy bowled five overs of spin at BKSP yesterday:
Bijoy is doing it again. Honesty BD f'ed it up by selecting him for T20 and then Test. Not every player understands every format or are meant for every format. Give the guy a proper try out for ODI since he keeps pumping out 100's and 50's in DPL.

He was given enough chances in ODI. Now we dont really have a spot for him in the ODI XI. He has decent average in ODI, but his SR is really pathetic something like 74. If Shanto start performing bad again, I guess we can try him out at no.3.
MJoy celebrated his national team call up with wicket of Bijoy, with an outswinger. Bijoy's struggle against Ebadot-MJoy kinda justify why he's not getting national team recall. Naim is actually looking much better.
