Sajedul 2nd Bangladeshi Test cricketer to take umpiring
DHAKA -Former Bangladesh fast bowler Sajedul Islam
began the second innings of his career by taking up umpiring as his
profession.
He made his umpiring debut today during the Sheikh Kamal Under-18 National
Cricket Competition 2020-21 match between Sylhet U18 and Barisal U18 at the
BKSP.
By doing so, he became the second Bangladesh Test cricketer after Enamul
Haque Moni to take up the umpiring job.
As a cricketer, Sajedul's career was not illustrious as he claimed just
three wickets in three Test matches. He made his debut in 2008 against New
Zealand and played his last match in 2013 when Bangladesh faced off Zimbabwe.
He played a solitary T20 International match in his career, which was also
against Zimbabwe in 2013. But in that match, he bowled just one wicket-less
over after conceding 15 runs.
He however was the regular face in the domestic cricket. He so far played
99 first class matches, last of which was the last year and he so far claimed
241 wickets. In 55 List A matches, he grabbed 67 wickets. He also played seven T20 matches and bagged six wickets.BSS
