5 reasons why cricket can be excited about Mehidy Hasan

#5 He represents the future of Bangladesh cricket

Mehidy (r) could be Shakib's successor

Bangladesh are now a hugely improved side with a steady stream of talented players coming through the ranks, however, Mehidy Hasan looks like the player who could end up being the future of Bangladesh cricket. Shakib Al Hasan has been Bangladesh’s best cricketer for close to a decade now and Hasan looks like the player who could take over the mantle of being the team’s star all-rounder when Shakib eventually retires.

Shakib is 30 years old and after perhaps another five seasons, might hang up his boots. By that time, Mehidy would be 24 and at the breakout point as a cricketer. If all goes well, then he is perfectly placed to be the future of the Bangladesh team. Hard not to be excited about such a cricketer, isn’t it?
