Rishad has taken the most T20 wickets for Bangladesh in 2024, but has yet to play in the BPL. Barishal has played two consecutive matches without him, raising questions about their plans for the leg-spinner. The coach says there’s plenty of time ahead to field him.

When will Rishad play for Barishal?

Rishad had an incredible year in 2024, becoming the first specialist leg-spinner from Bangladesh to play in an ICC tournament. He took a record 14 wickets in the T20 World Cup and finished the year with 35 wickets in 24 matches, setting a national record. He was the only player to appear in every T20 for Bangladesh in 2024.
