ACC Trophy: Kathmandu Chronicles

From Sports Reporter
10 October 1998



KATHMANDU, Oct 9: Once again the national cap kept away from the young medium-paceman Mushfiqur Rahman who left the Nepalese capital today making room for left-arm spinner Enamul Haque without playing a single match in the ACC Trophy tournament.

This must be yet another disappointing experience for him after the Commonwealth Games where he was not picked up for a match and thus he could not make his national debut.

``It's very disappointing. I'm always ready to play. But it is the team management who will decide when I will play,'' said a gloomy Mushfique on his departure for Dhaka.

Earlier, Enamul arrived here this afternoon to bolster the Bangladesh bowling battery.
