Mosaddek aims to make impact after T20 comeback

DHAKA, July 14, 2026 (BSS) - Bangladesh allrounder Mosaddek Hossain Saikat said 
he is determined to contribute according to the team's needs after earning a 
recall to the national T20 squad for the ongoing Zimbabwe tour.

Mosaddek returned to Bangladesh's ODI side during the recent home series 
against Australia after a four-year hiatus and retained his place in the 
squad for the three-match T20 series against Zimbabwe, marking his return to 
the shortest format after a lengthy break.

Bangladesh and Zimbabwe are currently in Bulawayo, where the T20 series 
begins tomorrow (Wednesday). Ahead of the opening match, Bangladesh continued 
their preparations at the venue.

In a video message released by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), Mosaddek 
said he has set high expectations for himself following his successful ODI 
comeback.

"The expectations from myself are very high. I performed well after returning 
to the team and now I have to do even better. I have to play according to the 
team's needs," he said.

The allrounder also spoke on the conditions in Bulawayo as he said its 
different compared to Harare, where Bangladesh played the Test and ODI 
matches.

"The conditions here are a bit different from Harare. The air is stronger, 
and the environment is slightly different," he said, adding that his goal is 
to make an impact in the match he starts in the playing XI.

"Whenever I get an opportunity to play, my goal is to make an impact and help 
the team win. That has always been my priority," Mosaddek remakred.

Bangladesh will look to finish the Zimbabwe tour on a positive note when the 
three-match T20 series gets underway in Bulawayo tomorrow (Wednesday).
