Bangladesh speedster Taskin Ahmed is working on his recovery from a shoulder injury. The pacer said he is upbeat about making a comeback in the upcoming season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) but expressed regret over missing the IPL chance. The pacer was included in the IPL draft — the cash-rich T20 event in India. However, at the last moment, his name was withdrawn by Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), marking the thrid time he missed an IPL opportunity. It's all about David Warner in his final test at the Sydney Cricket Ground against Pakistan  “As a cricketer, I always want to play in franchise leagues,” Taskin said. “With this, I missed the IPL chance three times.” Taskin also missed the opportunity to play in the recently-concluded New Zealand series due to the shoulder injury.  “I would have enjoyed it if I was on this tour. It's always great to bowl in New Zealand,” he said. “I would have witnessed Bangladesh's success if I were there. Bangladesh played really well. It's our team, and the pride is always ours.” Bangladesh U-19 aim high in ICC World Cup 2024 Bangladesh's pace-bowling unit performed well in New Zealand, making the most of the conditions.
