Rishad Hossain is probably the biggest brand in T20 cricket in the country now. Despite getting a team in the Big Bash last year, he could not play due to NOC complications. There is a fear of that this year as well. However, the Big Bash team Hobart Hurricanes has rightly pulled Rishad into the team. Ricky Ponting, the best captain in the world of cricket, himself chose Rishad Hossain for his former team.
This time, another former Australian captain, Aaron Finch, is full of praise for Rishad. The former Melbourne Renegades captain showed his high hopes for Rishad in a discussion after the Big Bash Draft.
Aaron Finch expressed his admiration for Rishad’s bowling in a podcast about the draft on the Big Bash YouTube channel. He said, “Rishadh Hossain is a very talented leg-spinner. He can turn the ball very well.”
Finch put Rishad a little apart from the current leg-spinners, “He is very different from the current leg-spinners in T20 cricket. He floats the ball, and whenever he is under pressure, he bowls more slowly.”
Finch, however, saw Rishad very closely last year. Rishad took 2 wickets for 23 runs in a 3-over spell against Australia in the T20 World Cup. He brought back two batters like Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh. At that time, both Ponting and Finch were on the Caribbean coast as commentators.
Finch said, citing Ponting’s words, “This Bangladeshi leg-spinner turns well… Ricky Ponting has a very good opinion of him.”
Earlier, Salian Briggs, general manager of Hobart’s High Performance Unit, had said the same thing. He said that Ricky Ponting played a big role in bringing Rishad to the team. He also said that Ponting had taken an interest in Rishad in the World Cup match.
