Netherlands batting coach Heino Kuhn recently talked to The Daily Star’s Samsul Arefin Khan in Sylhet and spoke candidly about his international career and a very brief stint at the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) as well. The excerpts are as follows:
In a recent conversation with The Daily Star's Samsul Arefin Khan, Paul van Meekeren spoke about cricketing infrastructure in Netherlands, his performance against Bangladesh and his BPL experience.
Bangladesh are enjoying a successful spell in the T20I format, having won five out of their last six matches, including the eight-wicket win over Netherlands in Sylhet on Saturday, and in every one of those victories a different player has emerged as the player-of-the match.
Sylhet division are the reigning champions of the first-class competition National Cricket League (NCL), earning their maiden title last season, and many players from this part of the country, like Zakir Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Nasum Ahmed, Jaker Ali Anik, Ebadot Hossain and Khaled Ahmed are currently representing Bangladesh in different formats.
As the three-match T20I series between Bangladesh and Netherlands kicks off at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today, the key challenges for the hosts will be twofold: first, carrying over the momentum from their last two series wins and second, avoiding a slip-up against another lower-ranked side in the shortest format.
Recurrent rain interruptions in Sylhet has majorly disrupted the Bangladesh team's preparation camp ahead of the three-match T20I series against the Netherlands, which will be followed by the Asia Cup, and raised a question over the logic of holding a series in late-monsoon in the most rain-soaked region of the country.
Despite much hype surrounding the upcoming Cricketers Welfare Association of Bangladesh’s (CWAB) elections on September 4, voting will now take place only for the presidential post out of 11 positions.
In a conversation with The Daily Star's Samsul Arefin Khan, Bangladesh top-order batter Sharmin Akhter Supta said that Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) decision to include the Under-15 men's team in the Women's Challenge Cup was a good move and expressed her desire to make winning contributions in the upcoming World Cup.
