Taskin replaces Bijoy as Durbar Rajshahi Captain

BSS, Chattogram :

The Durbar Rajshahi team management announced Taskin Ahmed as the Captain of the side for the remaining matches of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) on Monday.
The lanky fast bowler replaced Anamul Haque as the skipper.

“Experienced pacer Taskin is our new captain for the remaining matches in the ongoing BPL,” Rajshahi stated in a press release.

Under Bijoy’s captaincy Rajshahi won three matches in eight games and is currently at the fifth position in the points table.

Bijoy has been in top form in the tournament, already making 324 runs in eight matches that put him in the second spot in batting chart behind Tanzid Hasan Tamim’s 330.

He struck a century in the last match but still couldn’t resist the side’s seven-run defeat to Khulna Tigers.

Rajshahi needed 17 runs in the last over to chase down Khulna’s mammoth 209-4 with Bijoy in the strike but he couldn’t amass the required runs to win the game for the side.

Instead he completed his century by taking a single in the last ball when his side’s defeat was confirmed.

“Captaincy burden was taken off from him (Bijoy) so that he can concentrate more on his batting,” the Rajshahi press release added.

Taskin, meanwhile, also is in top of the form by claiming tournament highest 18 wickets in eight matches, so far.
