Taskin available in BCL from second match

Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed is set to return from the second fixture of the Bangladesh Cricket League One-Day Version after missing the opener, the right-arm pacer confirmed to Daily Sun on Saturday.

After recovering from a recent illness, the pacer discussed increasing his bowling workload gradually.

“I have been playing T20 cricket for a while, but I was a bit sick recently,” Taskin said. “I am currently increasing my bowling workload. If everything goes well, I will be available from the second match, Insha’Allah.”

Initially rested from the tournament, the 30-year-old will nevertheless remain with the squad during the opening encounter.

“I will stay and train with the team,” he added. “But, Insha’Allah, I will be available from the second match.”

Taskin sat out the recent Odommo Bangladesh T20 Cup as part of his recovery.
