Yes, Bangalis can also play cricket
This is in response to the media report “Absolutely awesome” (July 16). Pakistan, India, South Africa — overhyped teams consisting of ‘superstars’ are collapsing one by one while facing Bangalis’ might!
Bangladesh’s superb consistent show is a matter of immense pride and joy for all Bangalis of the world. This series of victories over these mighty teams is not only a slap on the face of the ‘pundits’ who question the credibility of our team, but is also a sort of renaissance in Bangladesh cricketing arena.
These victories have forced the racist lobby — which dares to project Bangalis as those who “can’t play cricket” — to eat its own words! And no amount of congratulations is enough for youngsters like Soumya Sarkar and Mustafizur Rahman for toying with the darlings of the media.
The talented juniors should carry on the brilliant show by exploiting their immense potential to its full extent and keep aloft the cricketing flag of Bangladesh in the international arena.
