We have to think of all these things when setting up the national team,” the chief selector said. Tushar is the first and only Bangladeshi to join the 11,000-run mark in first-class cricket. He is the leading Bangladeshi run-scorer in first-class cricket, ahead of Alok Kapali (8,692), Rajin Saleh (8,292), Farhad Hossain (7,665) and Naeem Islam (7,644). Among his first-class runs, Tushar scored 89 runs for Bangladesh, 1,963 for Bangladesh A team, 2,155 for South Zone, 6,689 for Khulna and 125 for other teams. But the selectors will have the team announced after the first ODI against Zimbabwe, so right now, that is the bigger priority.
