Nazmul Hasan Papon Announces Big Bonus as Bangladesh Seeks Series Win
Bangladesh finds itself in a favorable position, leading the two-match Test series against New Zealand with a 1-0 advantage secured in Sylhet by a margin of 150 runs. As the second and final Test approaches on Wednesday, the prospect of a historic Test series victory against New Zealand looms large for Bangladesh. Board president Nazmul Hasan Papon has announced a substantial bonus for the Bangladeshi cricketers should they emerge victorious in the upcoming match.
Following a dinner with the team at the team hotel on Monday night, Nazmul Hasan shared insights on the potential bonus. He stated, "I didn't discuss the bonus during dinner. They were eager to know. When questioned, I assured them that a significant bonus awaits them if they clinch the series. There's no doubt about it."
Reflecting on the success in Sylhet, the board chief emphasized its significance, saying, "The first match was in Sylhet, where the wicket was excellent. Our curator, Tony Hemming, is among the best in the world. The pitch offered advantages for batters, spinners, pacers, and bounce – a rare combination. I must admit, I haven't seen such a wicket before."
Drawing on past victories against Australia and England in Mirpur, Nazmul Hasan expressed optimism about securing another win against New Zealand in the upcoming match in Mirpur. Acknowledging the unpredictable nature of the Mirpur wicket, he highlighted the limited possibilities for a draw and emphasized the two potential outcomes for winning the series: victory through solid gameplay or securing a win outright.
