The right handed batsman from Sylhet was short listed for the Zimbabwe tour and the selectors also gave hints of sending him for the ODI matches. But due to some strategic measures, the selectors restricted the ICL returnee’s travel to Africa. Kapali then involved himself into a heated debate with the chief selector Akram Khan over phone and supposedly declined to play for Bangladesh A Team.
“There has been a misunderstanding. I wanted to say something but it turned out in some other way. Even Akram bhai misunderstood my points,” said Alok.
“I told him that I performed in the domestic competitions and also joined the conditioning camp. Then why am I not being considered for the national side? I was even told that I will be included for the ODI matches against Zimbabwe but later when no such thing happened I was in doubt with my future in the national side. I never told him that I will not play. Now when I have made him realise that, he has asked me to give a letter. Let’s see where this leads to,” he added.
On the other hand chief selector Akram Khan said, “Kapali got emotional which made him say a few things but now he has decided to play. I have asked him to submit a letter to the board and join the A Team practise on Sunday. I think I made right decision.”
However, Alok Kapali’s name was omitted from the 25-man Bangladesh A team Skill Camp squad announced on Thursday.Source: Internet
