The eighth edition of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2022 has witnessed its champion, Comilla Victorians. The winner may take all the spotlights in a franchise-based cricket tournament, but some emerging players are always flourishing on the big stage.
Mrittunjoy Chowdhury
Mrittunjoy missed the early tournament phase but came back strongly and made his position permanent on the team. He didn’t stop performing after that bagging the tournament’s first hat-trick. He has taken eight wickets in eight matches he played for Chattogram Challengers. He could have been the most wicket-taking bowler in the contest if he got the chance of playing all the matches. But his team hasn’t qualified for the knockout stages; maybe they could if they had the man who can conquer both the death and death-overs.
Munim Shahriyar
Mrittunjoy has played eight matches, but Munim didn’t even get that much! He just played just six games in the shirts of the champion Comilla Victorians. Regardless, he has proven his hard-hitting ability with a 152.14 strike rate with 178 runs coming from his bat. Only Alauddin Babu has a better strike rate than the locals, but Babu scored only 62 runs, leaving his stats unmarked.
Mahmudul Hasan Joy
You may still remember Joy’s 78 runs from 228 balls in his test debut as an opener against New Zealand; well, now he has proven his adaptability too! He has scored 165 runs in five matches, with the help of 22 fours and three sixes. Having the experience of winning the U19 World Cup, he already holds a lot of responsibility for the future up ahead.
Tanvir Islam
Left-arm spinners and Bangladesh’s cricket pitch, name a better duo; I’ll wait. The latest addition to the list is Tanvir Islam, another Victorian. He has tricked the batsman 16 times this tournament in 12 matches. So while Comilla may have planned their spin line-up with Sunil Narine and Moeen Ali, Tanvir Islam has played his role very well to help his side lift the trophy.
After the poor performance in the last T20 World Cup, BCB has a vital role with youngsters under the radar. The job is quite simple – nurture and guide toward the right path.
