NCL 2018: top 5 performances in the first round

#1 Ariful Haque (231 by the all-rounder)

Ariful Haque hits his maiden double-ton in the first-class cricket

Ariful Haque was among the 16-member squad of Bangladesh team during the Asia Cup but did not get chance to play a single match in the prestigious event. He hit a marvellous 231 runs right after backing from the Asia Cup.

The right-handed all-rounder drew the attention of critics during the BPL 2016-17. But, he had to wait for a long time to get the national call. Ariful played six T20Is for Bangladesh, but he is yet to show his merit in the international level.

His innings of 231 runs, will surely help him to earn a call for the Test team ahead of home series against Zimbabwe. Ariful played 75 first-class matches and scored in an average of 34.00. He registered eight centuries and 16 fifties in his first-class career.
