Today’s budding cricketers will turn out to be tomorrow’s Mashrafe bin Mortaza-Shakib al Hasan-Tamim Iqbal, said the chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on the Youth and Sports Ministry, Mohammad Zahid Ahsan Russel.
Saturday afternoon, the State Minister attended a prize-giving ceremony of the BSB Foundation School’s cricket tournament at Khan Jahan Ali Stadium in Fatullah, Narayanganj.
He said, “This kind of events help find underprivileged talented cricketers and give them opportunities to go forward.”
Tournament organizer and BSB-Cambrian Education Group’s founder and chairman Lion MK Bashar said, “BSB Foundation is working towards finding underprivileged budding cricketers from various regions and honing their cricketing skills to help them move forward.”
Earlier in the morning, special guest of the event Liakat Hossain Khoka MP officially inaugurated the tournament final.

BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury and former BKSP coach Nazmul Abedeen Fahim were also present during the event.
They mentioned that if more private organizations like BSB Foundation come forward to organize more events like this, Bangladesh cricket will go further.
In the final, Gazipur’s Agrani School defeated Dhaka’s Cambrian School to become champion.
Previously, BSB Foundation organized “BSB Foundation School Cricket 2019” on March 16, earlier this year.
Zahid officially inaugurated the event, where 64 teams took part.
