‘Playing county cricket is a dream come true’

 

Hasan said that the opportunity was a dream come true, having become just the second cricketer from the country after Shakib Al Hasan to play county cricket.

 

“I am honoured to have the opportunity to play county cricket for a historic club like Kent,” Hasan said in a press release published by Kent.

 

“Playing county cricket is a dream come true, and it’s a proud moment not only for me, but also for everyone back home in Bangladesh.

 

“I am determined to work hard and contribute to the team’s success. I have spoken with Adam Hollioake and Simon Cook about what I can bring to the squad and what will be expected of me, and I cannot wait to represent this county.

 

He said that he was looking forward to seeing the Bangladesh fans in UK.

 

“I am looking forward to meeting the club’s members and supporters, and seeing the Bangladeshi fans in the UK come out and support the team. Their passion for cricket is well known.”

 

Hasan will feature in two of Kent’s fixtures this month in the Championship – away at Lancashire from 12 until 15 June, and then Middlesex at home during the 174th Canterbury Cricket Week from 19 until 22 June.

Hasan will then return to Kent for four Championship matches to conclude the season across September.
