One of consistent domestic performers in the country, Marshall Ayub, is missing the players of

cricket team in National Cricket League (NCL). He is eyeing to win the NCL title for his team Dhaka Metropolis.

The 18th NCL is set to resume from 20th December without the star national team players. Marshall spoke to media after practice session, "It would've been much better if the national team players were there. The tournament would've got more exciting. But the rest of the guys also have the potential." After the three rounds of National League, Dhaka Metro are at number three with 15 points. There are three more rounds to go. Captain Marshall is still hoping of winning the title. "Barisal (Division) are at the top of the table. But there is less difference with them, 5-7 points. Our difference of points with them would've been lesser if we had done well in our previous games. If we can draw our batting and bowling points in our last three matches, we will have a chance of winning the tournament," he said. "All teams have a target of being champions. Our target is also to be the champion. We have three matches in our hands. Anything can happen if we do well. Let's see what happens," he added. Dhaka Metro will face Dhaka Division on Tuesday at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium in Mirpur.
