BPL is much better than PSL, says Mushfiqur

After having a forgettable campaign in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Mushfiqur Rahim returned to the country on Thursday. It was only his second-time to play in a foreign league. But the experience hasn’t been good at all for the Bangladeshi Test skipper. [Read in Bangla: পিএসএলের চেয়ে বিপিএল ভালো]

Out of eight matches in the first stage of the competition, Mushfiqur was played in only three matches by the Karachi Kings team management. And in those three matches, his collection was just 49 at 24.50, with a highest of 33. [এখন থেকে লাইভ স্কোর দেখুন বাংলাদেশের ওয়েবসাইট থেকে]

But it’s also true that Mushfiqur hadn’t much opportunity to flourish with the bat, because out of his three innings, he came at number seven twice. And that’s why PSL has been a mere frustrating experience for Mushfiqur.





“I know my performance could have been better. But you must have seen, I didn’t get much opportunity. Number seven is never an ideal position for me to bat on. Still I tried hard to get some runs on the board,” said Mushfiqur in a voice covered with disappointment and frustration.

“Money doesn’t matter. I went there because I thought I would get some playing opportunity. But unfortunately I didn’t. Had I been played more, and batted within number six, I could have done much better,” added Mushfiqur.

Mr. Dependable wasn’t happy with the overall organisation of the tournament either. “I believe this tournament was anything but well organised. Those who weren’t playing had no opportunity to practice. Overall our BPL is much better than PSL,” Mushfiqur came to a conclusion.
