Enamul Haque joins Indian team

[Sadz]

Bangladesh left-arm spinner Enamul Haque Jr and Sri Lankan medium-pacer Sujeewa de Silva will join the Maharashtra squad for the 2008-09 season. Haque and de Silva will replace Sairaj Bahutule and Munaf Patel who have not renewed their contracts. The selectors were keen on choosing international professionals since other states could be interested in domestic players, Maharashtra Cricket Association president Ajay Shirke, has said.

"Since the board allows only three professionals in a squad of 25, we decided to go for two players that other states will not be thinking of," Shirke told Cricinfo. Maharashtra also recently hired Shaun Williams as coach and are looking to improve their position in the Elite group. Williams was Bangladesh's assistant coach and he could have had a role in Haque's selection

It is inevitable that Shaun selected him because I have heard that he liked him

Well done Enamul jnr. This is a great news for Bangladesh Cricket.

[ialbd]

great news indeed... we have to be more professional towards our cricket like this...

a special thanks goes to Shaun as well...

[SS]

So Enamul becoming Indian Citizen and will play for India..Can we get Dada as an Exchange

[Beamer]

Good news. I still consider him as our most potent test prospect. He can turn the ball. All he needs to do is add variation. India is the best place for a spinner to develop his game. This might be very beneficial to us in the long run. I will be watching his progress along with many fans.

Thank you Shaun Williams. Keep up the good work. Enam, work twice as harder. May you be the pioneer for our players flooding in Indian domestic cricket.

This Is 10X better than County Cricket, plus Enams Arm Ball to Michael Clarke is still the best Ball I've ever seen A Bangladeshi Bowl

good for Jr.

when is Maharashtra's first match. I hope enam gets to actually play in 3-4 innings...

[akabir77]

Jr. emailed to me and said he will try his best

[arafath79]

Good news for E Haque Junior. He would bowl against some quality Indian doemstic sides and improve his bowling performance. I wish he will learn DUSRA by the help of any indian coach or player !

[AsifTheManRahman]

So it's official now. Clap clap clap. Looks like I'll be following the Ranji from now on. Questions, questions - off to google.

[sadi]

I thought he was still waiting for SRK's 2nd phone call.

Ganguly has alot of Pull in Indian Cricket Politics, and Bengal hasn't signed any overseas players yet

I don't think the IPL will be calling for Rafique, John Wright did see one of Rafiques matches he scored a Blistering 70, Kolkota had Mendis on there team and they didn't even play him, I'm sure Mendis will get into the XI with Ease now

[Nocturnal]

Great news! Good luck Jr.

[Sadz]

Personally, he could turn out to be a great test prospect for us in near future because we are struggling for a really good spinner. I just hope he does well for the Maharashtra first and then hopefully he will get chosen. He done really well against England in 2003 may I recall? and he also looks confident just like Rafique!

[cricket_pagol]

Congrats to Enamul, he will definitely learn a lot by playing in Indian tournaments.

[WarWolf]

Hope he will come close to some great former Indian cricketers. It's a learning trip for him. Wish we could send Mash, Rajib, Rasel and Sajib to Pak domestic cricket this way.

[bujhee kom]

very best of luck to you enam jr.! go make us proud! we will be watching every footstep you take from now on (no pressure). be cofident and be true to yourself, work hard and be your toughest critic! Inshallah, someday you will succeed as one of the great cricketers mother bd has ever given birth to!
go jr.!
go bd tigers!

[BD-Shardul]

Allah help those who help themselves. Enam is showing how to master one's own destiny. Go Enam. Hope to see you in BD colors in near future.

And Thanks goes to Shaun Williams for his role to make a place for Enam.
