Rishad Hossain, a rising star in the cricketing world, has become a popular pick for fantasy cricket following his stunning performance during the recently concluded white-ball tour of New Zealand.
Chandika Hathurusingha, the head coach of Bangladesh, offered him high praise, signifying his remarkable talent as a leg spinner.
Rishad's polished bowling abilities shone brightly during the New Zealand match. His recent remix of bowling techniques, introducing new variations, underscored his capability to control and confuse batters effectively.
The enduring riddle in the Bangladesh cricket environment concerns the nurturing and promotion of a proficient leg spinner. Despite the Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) concerted efforts, the tangible outcome remains scarce, largely due to the prevalent skepticism among domestic circuit coaches and relevant stakeholders.
Rishad has proven his metal over the past five years, participating in 19 first-class matches, five list A games including two ODIs, and 20 T20s, six of which were T20 Internationals. His limited appearance in the last edition of Dhaka Premier League for Abahani Limited may not signify his overall potential.
The Comilla Victorians, four-time BPL champions, have drafted Rishad for the upcoming Bangladesh Premier League. However, a guaranteed spot in the playing XI is yet to be established. Considering his escalating trajectory, Rishad Hossain is certainly a player to watch and a hot pick in the world of fantasy cricket.
