Yeh faisla thoda hairan karne wala hai, kyunki Shanto ne team ko kaafi samay tak sambhala aur unke leadership mein Bangladesh ne kuch yaadgaar jeet haasil ki. Lekin ab, jab team Sri Lanka ke khilaaf agle mahine ODI series khelne ja rahi hai, Miraz ke kandhon par badi zimmedari hai. Kya woh is naye role mein khud ko saabit kar payenge? Yeh sawal har cricket fan ke dil mein hai.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz ka naam Bangladesh cricket mein ek alag hi pehchaan rakhta hai. 27 saal ke yeh all-rounder apne shandaar performance ke liye jaane jaate hain. 105 ODI matches mein unhone 1617 runs banaye hain aur 110 wickets bhi liye hain, jo unhe ek bahumukhi khiladi banata hai. Iske alawa, woh Mohammad Rafique, Mashrafe Mortaza aur Shakib Al Hasan ke saath un chandon mein se hain jinhone ODI format mein 1000 runs aur 100 wickets ka double pura kiya hai. Yeh ek badi achievement hai, jo unki consistency aur talent ko dikhati hai.
Miraz ka recent performance bhi kaafi prabhavshali raha hai. April 2025 mein Zimbabwe ke khilaaf Test series mein unhone ek shandaar century banayi aur 10 wickets bhi liye, jiske liye unhe Player of the Series aur Player of the Match ka award mila. Iske alawa, unhone ICC Men’s Player of the Month award bhi jeeta, jo unke career ka ek aur bada milestone hai. Yeh sab dekhkar yeh kehna galat nahi hoga ki Miraz mein woh jazba aur talent hai jo Bangladesh ko aage le ja sakta hai.
Bangladesh cricket ke liye yeh ek nayi ummeed ki kiran hai. Miraz ne pehle bhi Shanto ki gairhajiri mein team ko lead kiya hai, jaise December 2024 mein West Indies ke khilaaf ODI series mein, jahan unhone apni leadership skills dikhayi. Unka yeh experience unhe naye role mein madad karega. Bangladesh ke fans ko yakeen hai ki Miraz apne aggressive aur fearless approach ke saath team ko naye uchaiyon tak le jayenge. Unhone ek baar kaha tha, “Humare paas skill aur mindset hai fearless cricket khelne ka. Main chahta hoon ki hum apne aap ko confidently express karein aur desh ke liye dil se khelein.” Yeh baat unke vision ko saaf dikhati hai.
Lekin yeh safar aasan nahi hoga. Sri Lanka ke khilaaf series ek bada challenge hai, kyunki Sri Lanka apne home ground par hamesha se strong team rahi hai. Iske alawa, Bangladesh ke kuch senior players, jaise Shakib Al Hasan, ab team ka hissa nahi hain, aur yeh ek transition phase hai jisme team ko naye khiladiyon ke saath balance banana hoga. Miraz ke liye yeh ek bada test honese captain aur player dono ke roop mein. Agar woh apne all-round skills aur leadership ka sahi istemal kar paye, toh Bangladesh 2027 ODI World Cup ke liye ek strong team bana sakta hai, jo South Africa, Zimbabwe aur Namibia mein khela jayega.
Par chinta ki baat yeh hai ki cricket ek unpredictable game hai. Miraz ke paas talent hai, lekin pressure mein consistency rakhna asaan nahi. Pehle bhi dekha gaya hai ki naye captains ko shuruaat mein struggle karna padta hai. Jaise ki 2023 ODI World Cup mein Bangladesh ka performance kuch khaas nahi raha, us waqt bhi Miraz ek bada naam the, lekin team ke overall results ne fans ko nirash kiya. Kya Miraz is baar us disappointment ko jeet mein badal payenge? Yeh waqt hi batayega.
Miraz ke liye yeh ek golden opportunity hai, lekin saath hi ek badi zimmedari bhi. Bangladesh ke fans unke saath hain, aur ummeed hai ki woh apne desh ka naam roshan karenge. Lekin cricket ke is khel mein, jahan har match ek naya challenge hota hai, Miraz ko apne aap ko har din saabit karna hoga. Kya woh is bade stage par apni team ko ek nayi pehchaan de payenge? Yeh sawal abhi bhi khula hai.
