Star pacer of Bangladesh National Cricket Team Rubel Hossain has another surprise in store for his fans.

The pacer, who devastated England during the ICC Cricket World Cup, will be seen as a model in a television commercial of telecom operator Robi.  

In the TVC, Rubel will lead the upcoming marketing campaign of Robi.

Shooting for the commercial finished at Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (BFDC) yesterday. During a shooting break Rubel told this correspondent, “I am tremendously happy to do the TVC.

I was very excited and a little bit nervous since it is my first appearance as a model. But I found the work very interesting, and will do more such assignments if I receive offers.

"The pace sensation added, “The commercial features me as a cricketer that is why I am very comfortable. As a professional player I belong to cricket, and my dreams centre on the game.

I would like to thank Robi for tagging me with them. Also I am grateful to the people of the country for their support.” 

The 40-second TVC, directed by Adnan Al Rajeev, will go on air soon.
