*-*-*-* The Duronto Rajshahis*-*-*-*

[ialbd]

For this season its an OK team with the tight budget they have...

Tamim, Samuels, Alex Hales, Sami... (and retaining most of their players from last season)... not even close to DG or CK... but chole arki.

Team chemistry has always been DR's strength anyway... but without Mushy I wonder who'll lead this time...

Also, does anyone know if DR cleared all the payments for their players/coach/staff from last season? I know all the franchises were late and missed payments left and right, but retaining your players from last season says something I guess....

hmm.. oto akta kharap hoi nai team ta.. captain kare dei aitai bishoy

Duranto Rajshahi’s secret bid of $121,000 for Abul Hassan took the other franchisees by surprise as the second highest bid for the pace-bowling all-rounder was just $53,000 by Khulna Royal Bengals. In the first edition of BPL Hassan did not find a place in any team until Sylhet Royals’ Rubel Hossain was ruled out with injury. However, his recent century in his debut Test against West Indies certainly lifted his demand to Duronto.

That was worst of all. Abul is talented no doubt but there is no way he worth 121k coz of his bowling. max. maybe DR picked him up as a opener?

[Fazal]

Durondor Rajshahi will be top 2 team.

[M.H.Rubel]

I have a feeling that Abul will do good this season.

Tamim and Alex Hales...possibly the best opening combo along with DG's Dilshan and Ash/Anam/Wright.

That will be the same opening combo when Tamim went to play for Nottinghamshire

[BengaliPagol]

1. Tamim Iqbal
2. Alex Hales (O)
3. Marlon Samuels (O)
4. Jahurul Islam
5. Sean Irvine (O)
6. Abdul Razzaq (O)
7. Ziaur Rahman
8. Abul Hasan
9. Mohammad Sami (O)
10. Monir Hossain
11. Taijul Islam

Pretty balanced team imo and should give Dhaka Gladiators a run for their money. One thing is that they will start well and finish in style.

[al-Sagar]

rajshahi can be a surprise package this season

[One World]

Good job for DR. They chose the right mix of players I must say.

Monir Hossaina and Taijul r SLA'ers.

DR have a very poor bowling attack.

To me they have a decent attack. If Sami brings his last BPL form into BPL2 and Abul brings consistency into his pacy deliveries then i think they can be a threat in the comp. Monir's legbreaks are pretty economical so it could work out for them.

They have a powerpacked batting lineup. Besides Jahurul the rest of the batsmen are all matchwinners.

[shivfan]

I expect samuels to leave after a week to play odis in australia surely....

[deshimon]

Who will be the captain of Rajshahi?

[riajul]

Shaun tait was picked by Duronto Rajshahi after the auction.

[nadim 98]

^^now this team looks gd. Tait's pace can destroy any team

[nadim 98]

Rumour: Abdul Razzak(pskistani) will be the captain of DR.

Should have made Tamim the captain imho

[Rabz]

Tait will add good value to the tournament, if he can stay fit and play a bulk of DR's matches.
Anyone knows how much he has been bought for ?

Now thats a good news.Rajshahi has become a team to watch now.

[cricketboy]

Razzak as far as I know is not a captaincy material.

You are right. Tamim is not either, but atleast he would be a deshi captain.

[Hamlafan]

Great signing by DR: Shaun Tait. (Bowling attack looks pretty decent)

!Shaun Tait, Mohammed Sami, Abul Hasan, Monir Hossain, Marlon Samuels!

In Bangladesh you need at least one good spinner. They are short of one
