Bangladesh Cricket Board President Nazmul Hasan on Wednesday informed that they will make a special arrangement to end country’s long search for a wicket taking leg spinner.

The BCB chief earlier advised all the participating teams in domestic league to include a leg spinner in their playing eleven at mandatory basis.

But there was no leg spinner in the Bangladesh Cricket League (BCL) second round. Aminul Islam who played in the opening round for BCB North Zone, was omitted from the team in the second round while the rest three franchises did not include any leg spinner.

BCB chief was astonished with the development and expressed his disappointment that he was informed that each team would include a leg spinner in their playing XI.

"I have been asking for the last three or four years to include a leg spinner in their playing eleven. There is no leg spinner not even in BCL. They did not play a leg spinner in BPL as well." BCB President told media at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.

"Once there was no leg spinner in our country but now we have many leg spinners. They have to be allowed to play matches in domestic cricket if the leg spinners have to be included (in the national team). They will improve while playing. We are thinking of some special arrangements for leg spinners." He added.

Quality leg spinners are invaluable asset to any team but Bangladesh has the dearth of quality leg-spinner and have been searching a leg spinner since long.

"This is not acceptable. They told me that they will play a leg spinner. I heard from you (media) that they did not pick any leg spinner. I can guarantee the leg spinners will be played very soon." Nazmul Hasan said.

Aminul Islam is more of a capable batsman than a wicket taking leg spinner and he failed to live up to the expectation with leg spin. Jubair Hossain also failed to impress after his good showing in the initial stage and BCL snub left his career under threat. Other two leg spinner Rishad Hosaain and Minhazul Abedin Afridi were also overlooked in the BCL draft.
