6. Soumya Sarkar
is a Bangladeshi
allrounder, but
one who bowls
medium-pace
rather than
spin.
7. He is
predominantly a
top-order batsman
but his seam
bowling has been
termed as more
than useful by
many coaches in
the country's age
group and
domestic scene.
8. Born in Sathikra,
Soumya was
admitted to the
BKSP in Savar, the
country's biggest
sports institute. He
quickly joined the
cricket team and
was part of BKSP's
league campaigns
from 2008-09
season
9. He played one
game in the
2010 Under-19
World Cup, and
two years later
was an integral
member of the
side in
Australia
10. He struck a
double-
hundred in a
one-day game
against Qatar
in Kuala
Lumpur. At
the 2012
Under-19
World Cup, he
ruffled the
feathers by
Mankading
Jimmy
Peirson.
11. The left-hand
batsman,
however, has a bit
of glamour to his
batting, even at a
young age. He
stands up tall and
takes a long stride
to spinners and
uses his hand-eye
coordination quite
well against the
quick's.
12. His medium-pace has
given him a lot of
attention too,
particularly his ability to
use the new ball despite
the lack of pace.
13. In November
2013, he was
called up to the
Bangladesh
Twenty20 squad
but he didn't play
the one-off game
against New
Zealand
14. He continued to be
monitored, and when
Chandika
Hathurusingha,
Bangladesh's new
coach who took charge
in May 2014, had a
look at him, Soumya
was back in
contention.
15. He was
handed an
ODI debut
against
Zimbabwe in
December
2014; he
didn't bowl
but made 20
off 18 balls.
16. Soumya Sarkar leads
Prime Bank to title
win. Soumya Sarkar,
who took two
wickets, then made
97 off 91 balls with
seven fours and as
many sixes to seal
Prime Bank's chase.
