players are very sad after hearing the sad news because we have lost a man
who is like an elder brother, like a guardian ‘Badal Da’… we all the
players are really very sad …. when he (Badal Roy) was in national team
management, he used to cooperate the players a lot mentally ….. in fact, he
was our guardian … he was a legendary player … we lost a legend as well
as a guardian.
We want him to be a good in the haven and our prayer will always be
with his family, concluded Mamun.
