Asif is actually a better fifty overs player than Anamul. Despite this season's averages, I rate them equally in FC cricket.

Is Shohag Gazi another SLA?

I'd add Kamrul Islam Rabbi to the list as well. What is the fixture list for this season?

I rate Anamul higher than Asif simply because Asif has not performed in the U19/Academy level so far. In fact Asif was not even a regular in the U19 line-up whereas Anamul was the best batsman in the team. I know Asif has outperformed Anamul in the NCL this season but NCL stats are often skewed. My opinion will only change when I see Asif scoring runs for the Academy or the A team when facing the same opposition as Anamul. Of course as I have already stated I rate Mominul higher than both for the same reason.

Shohag Gazi is an off-spinner and I think he deserves a lot more attention then he is getting right now. He was the highest wicket-taker in the NCL last season. Did not play much this season as he was busy with the A team. In the only FC match he played against WI A, he picked up 4 - 57 (match figures). In the T20 series he had an econ. rate of just above 5. And in the two ODIs in the tour he got 4 -60 at an econ. rate of 2.86. He also toured South Africa with the Academy earlier this year. Check out the scorecards of that tour:

He did not get thrashed in a single match and consistenly picked up wickets. In fact in the Tests he picked up a 7fer and a 4fer in that tour. Best spinner outside of the national team IMO.

Stage set for Dhaka drama
Sports Reporter
The players will tell you that the pressure created by club officials is at one of the highest points in the barometer.

The umpires will tell the difference between the officials who hold a grudge and the one who resorts to physical violence after a leg-before decision.

The club officials will tell you that they are the meat in the sandwich, having to deal with donors' sky-high expectations and the anxiety of dealing with players.

These three are the protagonists in the combative world of the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League which will be the focus of the cricket fraternity from tomorrow when it begins.

The 2011-12 season has already stirred the debate on its importance to Bangladesh cricket but the money invested on players has simply multiplied from last season. From the four-team dominance over the decades, this season has at least nine clubs that have spent more than Tk 2 crore to build their desired line-up.

All this money-spinning has the potential to make the top players seem like mercenaries but for a couple of experienced campaigners, it is more about passion than the big bucks.

Mohammad Ashraful and Shahriar Nafees, who will play for Old DOHS and Prime Doleshwar, have seen the highs and lows of the league; from the pressures of dealing with big club supporters to the high-budgeted small clubs who aspire to be the best.

"People talk about the first-class competition needing improvement. I agree with that but at the same time, the real pressure is felt in the Premier League. Every year the competition gets tougher. Making runs, winning games and the expectations of the club officials just make it a challenging environment," said Ashraful.

Nafees's main source of enjoyment in the Premier League is when he performs, since the league is followed by everyone concerned, and quite closely.

"I have been watching the Premier League since I was a kid. I really enjoy playing this competition and now it is more enjoyable because everyone stays in the radar," he said.

As the main batsman in his team, the left-hander will have to cater to a lot of expectations of a club that wants to make it to the Super League. Nafees believes that with a young team, this is a plausible target. "It is a young team but our primary goal would be to play in the Super League. I think the league this year will be quite competitive since three foreign players will play in a game," he added.

Ashraful lamented that the surplus of international matches on television has robbed the Premier League of fans, though he believes the best school to learn pressure is the ultimate match itself.

Abahani versus Moha-mmedan is still a few weeks away but this year, the big game won't tilt the balance of the Premier League. The presence of so many high-budgeted teams have made sure that there are several battles good enough to salivate over.

The players, umpires and, of course, the club officials are eagerly awaiting a Premier League that could be one of the best of all time.

Abahani's stern test in opener
Sports Reporter - The Daily Star; Dhaka
http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesig...php?nid=215878

Abahani take on Brothers Union in one of three Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League opening day matches on December 29.

The defending champions won't expect a stroll at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium as the newly promoted side have packed a real punch during the players' transfers.

The other promoted side, Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club which also roped in big names take on Moha-mmedan Sporting Club at the Fatullah Cricket Stadium.

Gazi Tank will face Prime Doleshwar Sporting Club at the BKSP in Savar in the other opening day game.

The Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis have so far given the schedule till January 6 for the 12-team Premier League.
