‘If not Azhar, Sachin would be great’

Mohammad Ashraful's BCB side are arriving in India for the Duleep Trophy. I quote this from ExpressIndia.com Cricket

"Ask him to pick one Indian batsman he has not met and would love to. Ashraful’s quick answer is: Mohammed Azharuddin. ‘‘He played some wonderful innings and I have heard a lot about him. I know it will be difficult but I will try and meet him during the Duleep Trophy,’’ he said. But if that doesn’t materialise, Asharful would compensate it by meeing Sachin Tendulkar. The young batsman’s turnaround in the December 2004 India series is credited with the famous Tendulkar-Ashraful chat in Dhaka. ‘‘Who would not want to meet him, he is an institution. Not just me, the whole team will learn something from him,’’ said Ashraful."

hmm...Azhar still has a decent amount of fan following...BL is definitely doing the right things these days...grt promise shown by the newcomers like Rajin Saleh, Mortaza et al.
