BHF general secretary Shamsul Bari said yesterday that he had held talks with Ibrahim during the Fifth Asia Cup Junior (Under-21) Championship, which concluded in Karachi a couple of days ago.

"He is interested to work with us but everything now depends on settling financial conditions. We are currently looking for a sponsor and we've talked to the Sports Ministry about it," said Bari.

Qamar Ibrahim is remembered for being a brilliant goal poacher in the mid-80s for Abahani in Dhaka Hockey League.
