Young players of Bangladesh cricket team, Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar are continuously moving forward doing well for the team. Like every player, there is an interesting story behind the jersey number of these young players. During a live chat between Corona virus, Bangladesh's young players Soumya Sarkar and Linton Das have also revealed the secret behind their jersey number.
Number 2 jersey left due to Mashrafe Mortaza: Wicketkeeper-batsman Litton Das has played 20 Tests, 36 ODIs and 29 T20Is for Bangladesh cricket team so far. Now the young player has told why he kept his jersey number '02'. Speaking to Cricfrenzy, he said, 'My jersey was number 2 when I played my first match at home level. This was also a reason, and at the same time, when I was out for two runs in my first ODI, that is also a reason. 'When I got a chance to play in BPL, at that time my team also had Masrafe Mortaza and his jersey number was also 2. Because of this I decided that I will play the number 19 jersey.
Will always wear number 16 jersey: Soumya Sarkar now wears number 16 jersey in all formats and leagues. He told that he had also sought advice from his mother in this regard. Litton said, 'Then I asked my mother what number jersey I should wear. So my mother said, wear whatever you want, at the same time I thought that I will wear the number 19 jersey. When Mashrafe did not play with me in the team, I used to wear the number-2 jersey because I loved it. After that I fixed the number 16 jersey because my birthday falls on the 16th.
Soumya Sarkar told why Chosen Number 59: Soumya Sarkar's jersey number 59 is from the beginning. He never tampered with it. Now, like Linton Das, the benign government also told how he chose his jersey number. Soumya Sarkar said, 'My credit card number in BKSP is last 459 of last number. There could not be three digit alouds on the jersey, so in that case I removed 4 and retained 59. My jersey number is 59 from the beginning.
