Mosharraf is Rafiq tie's pick

Cricket Sports Reporter
It’ll
Dhaka's left-arm spinner Mosharraf Hossain finished as the highest wicket-taker after his match winning six-wicket burst against Rajshahi in the tenth and final round of the 9th National cricket League at the Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium yesterday.
The stunning success in the last game also brought him the man-of-the match award but undoubtedly in the end what made the lanky spinner most happy was the comment of his senior teammate Mohammad Rafique.
"What I believe is that Rubel (Mosharraf Hossain) should be in the squad for the upcoming home series against South Africa. I honestly believe that he is now ready to become a worthy successor of me,"
ace Rafique reflected on his young fellow's 44-wdcket haul in the country's first-class competition.
The obvious question that then arose is the future of the long-serving cricketer but the veteran spinner seemed unbothered about the prospect, instead smilingly

saying: "Just ask him what I told him (Mosharraf)".
"Rafique bhai has repeatedly told me that the time has come for me to represent the national side although he has always been aware of what that would mean for him. I am really fortunate that a player like him has praised me in such a way," Mosharraf responded on this inquiry.
Rafique, who failed to get a place in the team for the ongoing New Zealand tour, showered praises on the young prospect.
"He has got the quality to become a good all-rounder. I am especially impressed by his mental strength which is most important in international cricket. He now just needs some nursing under the national team management," Rafique said.
The 26-year old Mosharraf, a student of Dhaka University, however was not in a hurry to find a place in the national side rather he wanted to improve as much as he can before making his internationaldebut.
"It was very encouraging for me to see that my domestic performances have led me to be considered for a national call-up. My main object is to perform well in any level. I am satisfied that I have fulfilled my target in the league and now I am looking forward to continuing it. I am also trying to improve my batting," said Mosharraf.
The lanky spinner also explained the reason behind
Rajshahi's second Innings debacle.
"At one stage we thought that there was no chance for us to do anything against them (Rajshahi) that's why I had decided to do some experiment in my bowling. I tried variations which worked brilliantly and definitely from nowon I will try to continue it to become a good longer-version bowler," he added.
