However, Shakib Al Hasan needs a leg-spinner for practice. Rashid Khan and Wanindu Hasaranga are also thinking about preparing to deal with the two opponents in the group stage of the upcoming Asia Cup, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka. Rishad Hossain flew to Dubai yesterday despite not being a member of the squad.

The role of this young leg-spinner is only that of a net bowler. Taskin Ahmed and Anamul Haque Bijoy, who joined the team a day later due to visa complications, have also joined the team. Jalal Yunus, head of BBC’s cricket operations committee, said, “The people we have to play with have good leg-spinners in their team. So they have to prepare to play in the nets. But Rishad has been sent because it is difficult to find such a net bowler in Dubai. ’

However, Rishad is not alone, two foreign leg-spinners are also going to be part of the Bangladesh team in Dubai for bowling in the nets. One of them is flying from Chennai, India. The other lives in Dubai. Confirming their inclusion, Jalal said, “Yes, a leg-spinner from Chennai is going to Dubai. There will also be an Emirates-based legio. Explaining the reason for taking the leggie from Chennai, he said, “We have tried a lot of leggies. Unfortunately, coaches don’t give them much opportunity in domestic cricket. They can’t be prepared that way if they don’t play matches. Apart from Rishad, there is no one at the moment. So one of the likes of our technical consultant Sreedharan Sriram is being taken from Chennai. ’

Bangladesh now has to raise its hand outside the country even for the net bowlers as some have been lost in the promise of huge possibilities at times. There is no news of Zubair Hossain. Jalal said that the news of Aminul Islam Biplob, who contributed with two wickets for 22 runs in the first T20 win against India in Delhi in November 2019, is also not beneficial. They said that the revolution is batting better now than bowling. Bowling is not good at all. ’
