Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 64346, member: 636"] Bangladesh leg-spinner Rishad Hossain shared his enthusiasm on Monday about joining the Hobart Hurricanes for the Big Bash League 15 under coach Ricky Ponting. The Bangladesh Cricket Board granted him clearance for the complete tournament starting Dec. 14. The 22-year-old took 14 wickets across seven matches at the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup, just 12 months after his international debut. Hossain stated that Ponting ranks among his childhood heroes, and he anticipates learning from the Australian legend more than from fellow players. He believes overseas franchise competition will help refine his techniques through exposure to world-class talent and various playing conditions. The spinner noted that sharing dressing rooms with elite cricketers offers valuable opportunities to expand his knowledge and experience as a leg-spinner. [/QUOTE]
