Having returned to Tests after 15 months, Naeem's performs brilliantly

Naeem Hasan’s career in white started in 2018 against the West Indies in Chattogram. This off-spinner has made his debut at home, and he took five wickets in the first innings and then took five wickets in another match. Despite taking 25 wickets in that Test career, Naeem has been out of the Test team for one and a half years.

Not that he played too severely in the last Test. Took 3 wickets. But when Mehdi Hasan Miraj confirmed the off-spinner’s place, Naeem lost his place in the team. He has been out of the national team for a long time, mainly due to team combinations. However, this time he got the opportunity in the Sri Lanka series.

Miraj was injured a few days before the start of the series. And that opened Naeem’s luck. The young cricketer has returned to his home ground in a familiar form against the Lankans. He has picked up his fourth Pfier. He took 6 wickets in 30 overs against the Lankans.

Naeem slammed Angelo Mathews, who batted impeccably on the last day of the second day of the Chattogram Test, into despair. He returned to the dressing room for 199 runs. However, Naeem was very good at bowling in the first innings. 105 runs from 30 overs with 4 Maiden four overs. However, Naeem’s bowling helped the Tigers hold the Lankans’ reins.

As a result, the Lankans stopped the innings with 397 runs. They have become all out. Mathews played the highest innings of 199 runs for the team. Besides, Kushal Mendis’ 54 and Dinesh Chandimal’s 66 brought an extensive collection to the Lankans.
