Playing with Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club in the night, whoever wins the match is the champion. But 10 members of the original squad are not in the camp. Liton Das, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Tawhid Hriday, Afif Hossain Dhrub, Zaker Ali Anik, Taskin Ahmed, Shariful Islam, Mohammad Saifuddin, Tanjim Hasan Shakib and Tanveer Islam are now in the Bangladesh fleet at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Chittagong.
Abahani management in dire straits. There aren't even 10 reliable performers. On top of that, pacer Khaled Ahmed and opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy suffered injuries. In a word, putting 11 people on the field is the responsibility.
What will Abahani do? Who will play in Abahani against Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club at BKSP ground on Tuesday? Coach Khaled Mahmud Sujan brought some age group cricketers to practice in Sher Bengal today.
But insider news, the team management of the national team is giving Abahani the opportunity to arrange the XI. According to reliable sources, BCB i.e. Cricket Operations has allowed 3 cricketers to play Abahani.
Jalal Yunus, the Chairman of Cricket Ops, confirmed this information to Jago News on Monday afternoon and said, 'Abahani, Mohammedan and Shinepukur have applied to us for the release of 3 teams of players. Abahani 3 players and Mohammedan and Shinepukur 1 player each have written to the board asking for permission to participate in the game on Tuesday. We allowed 3 Abahani and 1 Mohammedan (Mahmudullah Riyad) to play on 30th April. But the selectors will decide who will play.
Since there is no one else in the national team fleet except Mahmudullah Riyad in Mohammedan, he is the one who got the permission. Mane Riyad will play for Mohammedan in the match against Shinepukur at BKSP on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, it is known that any one of Afif Hossain Dhrub, Zaker Ali Anik and 4 pacers Taskin, Shariful, Saifuddin and Tanjim Shakib are likely to be seen playing for Abahani tomorrow.
However, it is not known for sure who will play for Abahani. Only the number is 3, confirmed the Cricket Ops Chairman.
On the other hand, Shine Pond also wrote to the board asking permission to play Tanjid Tamim and Rishad Hossain. But it was not accepted. Tanjid Tamim was not allowed to play.
Apart from this, there are 2 Prime Bank cricketers Parvez Imon, Sheikh Mehdi in the national team of 15 people. Prime Bank did not apply to play them.
