DHAKA, Jan 6, 2025 (BSS)- Mosaddek Hossain Saikat vowed to give his best to
help Dhaka Capitals return to winning way in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier
League (BPL).

Dhaka Capitals are at bottom table at this moment after losing three matches
in a row.

As they started Sylhet phase of BPL in a bid to snap the losing streak, all
eyes were on Mosaddek Hossain, a former national player who once was touted
as one of the most talented players Bangladesh have ever produced.

But Mosaddek was not recruited by any team in this season from the draft. It
was a huge setback for a player who was trying to make a comeback in the
national team.

To his delight, Dhaka Capitals finally recruited him to prove his credential
once again.

"It was disappointing. I also said this during the NCL T20 that it was
disappointing for me (not getting a team). But I didn't stop training. I
continued it and tried to play cricket here and there as much as it is
possible," he said after his side's practice session in Sylhet today.

"But hopes were there that maybe an opportunity might come. When it came, I
am certainly feeling good. This is an opportunity to play well again and
prove that I have still something to offer. If I can play well here, then
definitely a good opportunity will come."

Dhaka franchise which entered the BPL under new owner, has not been able to
thrive on the field despite organising various events outside.
 
"It can happen. If a team does not get momentum in franchise cricket, it is a
little difficult for them," Mosaddek said, adding that momentum is crucial to
return to winning way.

"If the team gets momentum, there is a chance to do well. I think that
opportunity to turn around will be here again and I just need to grab it with
both hands. Personally, if I get the opportunity to play, I want to give 100
percent to the team. I want to contribute as much as I can to the team and
win the match," he remarked.
 
Mosaddek himself endured a frustrating outing in the last season as he scored
just 91 runs in nine matches and took three wickets with the ball. However,
Mosaddek said he wants to start afresh, forgetting what happened in the last
season.
"A season for a player can be worse or can be good. I am not worried about
that at all," he said.

"I'm thinking about this season only and to how I can perform well. When I
get the opportunity, I will try to contribute for the team. I will definitely
focus on my own performance. If I play better here, the doors (national team)
will open later."
