He played 29 games in all formats, scoring 637 runs at 24.50, and taking 59 wickets at 30.55 with his off-spin. With 330 runs and 24 wickets at 28.20, he was especially productive in ODIs, winning Player of the Series in a match against India in December.Later on in that tour, in the Dhaka Test, he captured a second-innings five-for to push India all the way in pursuit of 145.13 Test cricketers have received central contracts from the BCB.

Hasan Mahmud did well last year. We are encouraging fast bowlers. We have always noticed Zakir Hasan's improvement through his time in the High Performance squads. His hundred against India definitely showed that he has the guts and ability," ESPNcricinfo quoted Yunus as saying."We tried Mahmudul Hasan Joy a lot last year. It is not a discouragement, but we want him to earn back the place. We are not discarding him. He can come back, but he has to work hard. Non-contract players are obviously available [for selection]," he added.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
