Rajshahi Royals opening batsman Afif Hossain said he wants to bat at the top order for Bangladesh in white-ball cricket.
Afif Hossain is playing in late middle-order position for Bangladesh team in T-20 cricket after making his debut last year.
Afif Hossain is having a fabulous run in the BBPL with his team in the opening position. Afif has scored 306 runs at this competition at a strike rate of 136 in opening the batting for Rajshahi,
Afif played a fabulous knock of 46 runs against Sylhet in a very tricky pitch against Sylhet and told about his liking in playing at top of the order afterward.
“I like to bat at the top order especially in T-20 at number three position.I am not getting that opportunity at the national team.i never get the chance to score big runs where I bat at the national team.if I get the opportunity I will try to bat higher up the order and score runs as well “ said Afif.
Afif Hossain is also looking forward to converting his starts to a big score in the future games for his team.
‘’I told you that I love batting at number three at T20 and I batted at number 3 in first three matches,’’ said Afif.
‘’In T20 opening there is hardly any differences in opening and batting at number three.
‘’Liton Bhai and me played before earlier.we played for Sylhet Sixer's last year.There was problem with openers there and we opened together later. We have got a good understanding and for that reason we are facing no problems now,’’ he said
