DHAKA, Sept 9, 2025 (BSS)- Opener Naim Sheikh refused to give up the hopes as 
he prepares himself to make another comeback in the national team.

After being dropped from the national team in 2022, Naim made a comeback in 
2025, following a consistent performance in the domestic cricket but that was 
undermined by his below par performance.

But Naim doesn't think that it's the end of the world as he has expressed his 
strong determination to return to the national team after performing well in 
domestic cricket again.

To do so, his first assignment will be the upcoming NCL T20, where he will 
lead Dhaka Metro.

"This kind of tournament helps us a lot for the preparation of BPL," Naim 
told the reporters. "Expectations are to play well, score good runs, be man 
of the match, and make some contribution to the team so that the team can 
win. These things will be the goal."

He also spoke at length about being dropped from the national team, "I tried 
to use the opportunity as a national team player. But somehow I couldn't 
succeed."

"To return to the national team, you have to prove yourself. Every time I was 
dropped from the national team, I gave it my all in domestic cricket and 
achieved something good. I still have that desire to perform like this again 
so that I can return to the national team."
