With the ICC T20 World Cup looming on the horizon, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is intensifying its search for impact players — and the spotlight is now firmly on the NCL T20’s standout performers.
The just-concluded National Cricket League T20 has thrown up a fresh batch of explosive hitters, sharp pacers, and game-smart spinners, catching the attention of selectors eager to reshape the Tigers’ T20 identity ahead of the global tournament.
🗣️ “We are closely monitoring the players who performed consistently in high-pressure moments,” said a senior BCB official. “It’s not just about big scores — it’s about temperament, fitness, and tactical awareness.”
Among the breakout stars, young opener Parvez Hossain Emon lit up the stage with his fearless batting, while Shoriful Islam continued to impress with his death-over accuracy. Uncapped talents like Rafiul Hasan and Towhid Ridoy also forced their way into the conversation with match-winning cameos and all-round consistency.
⚡ National team transition?
The push comes at a crucial time, with Bangladesh seeking a dynamic, fearless brand of T20 cricket — something the national side has often been accused of lacking on the world stage.
Cricket insiders suggest the World Cup squad could feature 3-4 new faces, with the NCL T20’s top performers being seriously considered for both the Asia Cup and the World Cup preparatory camps.
🚨 Selection shake-up imminent?
Chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu hinted at “surprises” in the upcoming squad announcement, promising that “no performance will go unnoticed.”
With fitness camps scheduled next month and international assignments around the corner, the NCL T20 has become more than just a domestic competition — it’s now a launchpad for national dreams.
🕵️♂️ Who will rise? Who will fall?
Stay tuned as BCB begins shaping the next-gen T20 Tigers.
