Mahmudullah Credits Tamim as DPL Returns to Revitalize Bangladesh Cricket
Finally, the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) is set to return to the field, a tournament often seen as the main source of livelihood for many cricketers in the country. This 50-over competition is not only important for players financially, but also plays a big role in the development of Bangladesh cricket.
After a long period of uncertainty, the league is finally back, and Mahmudullah Riyad has given full credit to Tamim Iqbal for making it happen. The experienced all-rounder, who will play for Prime Bank Cricket Club this season, said Tamim deserves appreciation for taking the initiative.
Mahmudullah Praises Tamim’s Initiative
Riyad said, “It’s a huge relief for all cricketers that the Premier League is finally happening. It’s great news. Tamim definitely deserves credit. He came in and took this initiative. At the end of the day, this is one of our main sources of income, and cricketers always want to stay on the field. Nothing can be more important than that.”
A Well-Balanced Team
He also expressed satisfaction with his team’s squad. “Personally, I’m very happy with the team. It’s well balanced. The top order looks strong – with Tamim, Azizul Hakim Tamim, and Dipu. In the middle order, there’s me, Shamim, and several young players. Both our pace and spin departments look solid too. We have a great mix of youth and experience.”
Prime Bank Cricket Club: A Top Team in Domestic Cricket
Prime Bank Cricket Club is considered one of the top teams in domestic cricket, and Riyad is excited to be back after a long time. “I should thank Prime Bank for giving me this opportunity. The last time I played for them was in 2015. Over the years, they’ve ensured proper payments, good facilities, and maintained top-class standards. They truly deserve credit for that. For any cricketer, financial security is a big comfort, and Prime Bank has been one of the pillars of the Premier League in this regard.”
Helping Younger Players
He added, “With whatever experience and knowledge I have, I’ll give my best for the team, Insha’Allah. I’ll also try to help the younger players as much as I can by sharing what I’ve learned over the years.”
The return of the DPL is a welcome news for Bangladesh cricket, and with players like Mahmudullah and Tamim leading the way, the future of the sport looks bright.
