Wicketkeeper-batsman Anamul Haque Bijoy has returned to the national team after a long period of eight years as a result of his outstanding performance in domestic cricket. The opener, who last played in the national team jersey against the West Indies, is back in the squad for the Windies tour. Despite being called up for the ODI and T20 format of the national team due to his performance in the DPL, Bijoy suddenly joined the squad for the second Test at the last moment. After a long gap, Bijoy is very excited about being included in the national team. He wants to give his full effort if he gets the chance.
Bijoy prepared himself for white-ball cricket. At that very moment, suddenly Bijoy got the call for red-ball cricket. In that context, is Bijoy up for the test? In response to the question of the journalists, Bijoy said, ”I was called for the white ball, I was practicing accordingly. But many times, I have said before that I love Test cricket the most. I have a lot more passion for Tests. That’s why when I get a chance here, I will always try to utilize it.”
“After eight years of being called up to the Test team, it’s a great opportunity for me. It’s also a great opportunity to show that I really like and love the Test. It’s thrilling. I don’t want to do anything new. The way I’ve played first-class cricket for so long, I want to do it the way I imagined playing Tests for the country.”
The right-handed cricketer has scored nearly 5,000 runs in first-class cricket since 2015. “This is my courage, this is my strength,” Bijoy told reporters. Looking at these statistics serves as an added confidence. Of course, it works the way I’ve played first-class cricket for so long. Every player has a plan to increase his experience and use it properly.”
