Once played volleyball. Was a member of the Air Force. From there to the world of cricket. He got the taste of international cricket because he can bowl hard. But Ibadat Hossain has understood very well how difficult it is in the last four-five years.

International cricket is a very difficult place, with so many possibilities, how many people are lost from the scene forever. Not everyone can say ‘I fell in love hard’ anymore. Even hard love is a big hard work. Ibadat was hanging on to that difficult love. Breaking yourself has brought you to this stage today. Courtney Walsh has got Champaka Ramanayake to coach Otis Gibson. He used that opportunity. Have sharpened themselves. The allegation that the fast bowlers of Bangladesh cannot take advantage of the favorable environment is very old. But Ibadat completely reversed that notion that Bangladesh's fast bowlers can do the same if they persevere. Even if the environment is not favorable, you can bet. With 6 wickets for 48 runs in the second innings of the Mount Manganui Test, Ibadat can see himself in one place at the moment on the highest altar. He said that among such cricketers of Bangladesh, the performance of Mount Manganui in Tests is above all.

There was never much thought about pace bowling in Bangladesh cricket. The pacers have always been the son of a stepmother in the national team. Even so, in the Test match, the national team XI has been arranged with four or five spinners. The pacers will win the team, this is impossible.

Whether it is because of such thinking or for whatever reason, the statistic of Bangladesh in Test cricket is very limited. That is the great performance of pace bowlers. In 2001, in the third Test in Bangladesh's history (the second Test on foreign soil) against Zimbabwe, left-arm pacer Manjul Islam took 6 for 71 at Bulawayo. Today, after 21 years, Manjul has only four partners to take 5 or more wickets in an innings in Tests. However, there are nine instances of Bangladesh taking 5 or more wickets as Test pacers. Shahadat Hossain has had this fame four times. Rabiul, another pacer who appeared in Bangladesh cricket like a comet, has done such a feat twice. Rubel Hossain did it once. The latest addition to this list is Ibadat. More specifically, Ibadat Hossain has the best bowling figures for Bangladesh in Tests. Rabiul Islam last took 5 wickets for the country in Tests 9 years ago, in 2013.

It is understood that Ibadat is not the king of one match. He must want to see his name in this list many more times. And that's why he's been learning for two years. Many people talk about this 'learning'. But today is a historic day in Bangladesh cricket as Ibadat has successfully implemented that learning.
