Even at 36, former Bangladesh skipper Mohammad Ashraful is harbouring dreams of staging a comeback to the national team. He last played a Test match for the country in April 2013.
At a recent edition of Light & Lens programme, hosted by UNB, the 36-year-old right-handed batsman said he would fight against all odds to make a comeback to the longer version of international cricket. I am looking forward to having a great domestic season once it starts so that I can draw the attention of the national selectors.
After serving a five-year ban for his involvement in match-fixing during Bangladesh Premier League in 2012, Ashraful is yet to find a place in the national side. Though he got a chance to play in the 2020 Bangabandhu T20 Cup, his dismal performance disappointed his team, Minister Group Rajshahi.
