As long as I am fit, I can do well.’He said, ‘Congratulations to Mrityunjay. He has been doing well for a long time. I will try my best from my place. There is a chance to improve in a few more matches. He wants to take 30 wickets in the Dhaka Premier Cricket League this season. Has taken 17 wickets so far in nine matches for Abahani. He is unbeaten in three innings after getting a chance to bat in four innings.

Saifuddin said, ‘There is no end to the good. I am still not completely happy with my bowling. Must do better.Still 5-6 six matches left. I will try to take five or four wickets. May I take 25-30 wickets at the end of the tournament? About the Dhaka League wicket, he said, ‘The conditions are very difficult for pace bowlers. After one or two overs, the Pacers have nothing to do. However, I am trying to do what I have to do to do well here.
