It seems as though Mohammad Ashraful is willing to do
anything to get back to the Bangladesh national team. In a bid to make a comeback,
he is now going to set foot on English soil to play for Coventry and North
Warwickshire Cricket Club (CNWCC).
The former Bangladesh captain has shown a lot of grit and
diligence over the last few years. Indeed, playing in the National Cricket
League, a first-class cricket league in Bangladesh, he scored a century last
year to get the ball rolling.
It doesn’t stop there, however, as he has been doing well for
Kalabagan Krira Chakra in the Dhaka Premier League as well. Despite getting out for a
duck in their recent game against Shinepukur Cricket Club, Ashraful scored a
century in the ongoing tournament when he smashed 104 runs against Prime
Doleshwar.
According to our source, the former Bangladesh captain is
set to play domestic cricket in England once the curtains on the Dhaka Premier
League are drawn. He has apparently signed a contract that obliges him
to play for CNWCC from April till August and will take part in it with the
No-Objection Certificate from the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
Our source further adds that apart from visa-related issues,
everything else has been completed with regards to Ashraful playing in England.
This is not the first time that the right-handed batsman
took part in foreign leagues as he played for FHS Sports Club in England in
2016 and also for a local cricket club in New York, USA.
