"The 2023 ODI World Cup is a big opportunity for us. There are a lot of senior stars in the team with many matches under their belt.

One year later, Mominul is not the Test captain anymore. This time, Mominul’s team Rupganj Tigers played their last match of the Dhaka Premier League having finished just outside the top six.
