Jannatul Naym Pieal Bangladesh batsman Mahmudullah Riyad said on Friday that he is determined to take some confidence from the Bangladesh Cricket League for the upcoming home series against India while young left arm spinner Taijul Islam expressed his desire to claim the wickets of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli when Bangladesh will take on India in the one-off Test and three-match ODI series starting from June 10. Mahmudullah, the right handed batsman spent a busy afternoon with his Walton Central Zone team-mates at the Sher-e-Bangla National Academy premises on Friday while preparing for the last phase game of Bangladesh Cricket League (BCL) longer-version against BCB North from May 24. The man from Mymensingh proved his hunger for success when he was seen to knock with a ball boy for an hour after the practice session under the scorching sun that absorbed most of his team-mates. Mahmudullah's determination proved that his failure in the Pakistan series after the World Cup made him desperate to regain his reputation in the international circuit. In six matches in the World Cup 2015 in Australia and New Zealand, Mahmudullah scored 365 runs at an astonishing average of 73.00. But unfortunately he could score only 26 runs altogether in the three-match ODI series against Pakistan where the Tigers eventually clinched the series by 3-0. "I could not perform well in this series [against Pakistan] both in one-day [internationals] and in Test matches. So this [BCL match] is very important for me and I am taking it very seriously as preparation for the India series," conceded the former Bangladesh vice captain. "I want to perform well in the last BCL game to raise my confidence level before going into the India series," he added. Mahmudullah was one of the major contributors for the Tigers in their maiden journey to the quarter-final in the last edition of the World Cup, scoring successive centuries to stamp his potential in the showcase event of the game. The new found touch of Mahmudullah was something that the Tigers' boasted upon during the home series against Pakistan, though he himself failed to deliver and thus made him return to square one. His batting in the whole series against Pakistan had raised voice of many critics against him suggesting that his World Cup success had gone over his head as he was looking to be hardly disturbed despite failing quite regularly. When asked about it, Mahmuduallah denied all the criticisms and accusations against him and said that the World Cup syndrome had left him before the series against Pakistan. "For me every series is a new beginning," said Mahmudullah. "The Pakistan series was a brand new series as World Cup was a past by then." "It's possible [teams are taking notes of my batting more precisely]. But I am concentrating on my own goal rather thinking about the criticisms and working towards .minimising my lacking so that I can perform well both for my team and as an individual. "I knew that Pakistan series won't be easy as they had one of the best bowling attacks. Since I could not do well in the ODIs so I was looking forward to do well in the Test matches. I got a start but could not manage to prolong it. But it is a past and I want to look forward." Meanwhile, Taijul Islam - the skinny spinner from the Western region of the country said that his eventual dream in the ensuing India series is to deliver a match-winning spell against the Men in Blue who are believed to play spin bowling well.  The 23-year-old Tiger also added that the wicket of Kohli and Rohit would give him an immense pleasure. Recalling his recent success with the ball, the young spinner said, "I bowled well in the last home series against Pakistan. I want to deliver a match-winning bowling against India as well. What is my main target is to claim the wickets of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli." He however considered the Bangladesh Cricket League (BCL) as the test case, stating that they all are working hard to show their best performances in the tournament. According to him, the good performance in the Bangladesh Cricket League (BCL) will boost them up ahead of the upcoming home series against India which is scheduled to roll onto the ground next month. After the end of the two-day-long fitness camp of the preliminary Bangladesh squad for the next home series, all the players are gearing for the third and final round of the BCL with an intense practice session. Walton Central Zone will fight against BCB North Zone at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium and Prime Bank South Zone will face-off Islami Bank East Zone at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong on Sunday. "We see the BCL games as a test case for the next home series against India. We all are concentrating more on this round so that we can do well against India,” said Taijul Islam. Taijul was the peak of the Bangladesh bowlers in the recently concluded Test series against Pakistan where he scalped six wickets in the first Test of the two-match Test series as well as claimed four in the second and last Test. "We fought well in the first Test and our spinners showed a better performance alongside the pacers. We played really well and drew the first Test but unfortunately we didn’t replicate the result in the second Test. Hopefully we’ll show the same performance against India what we showed in the first Test against Pakistan," added the Natore-born spinner, who will be in action for BCB North Zone in the title-deciding round of the BCL. After the end of the second round, Islami Bank East Zone and Prime Bank South Zone are in similar position as they notched up an identical 33 points with a win and a draw each. But Islami Bank East Zone topped the point-chart with better net-run-rate. East Zone routed Central Zone by three wickets at ZACS in port city, while South Zone trounced North Zone by a comprehensive 216 runs at KSOAS. BCB North Zone and Walton Central Zone, on the other hand, are yet to win any match after playing two matches. North Zone managed third place with just 12 points, while Central Zone are in the bottom place with 11.
