DHAKA, April 18, 2026 (BSS) - Anamul Haque Bijoy is set to return to competitive cricket with the upcoming Dhaka Premier League (DPL) after a period on the sidelines due to some off-the-field issues which kept him out of several domestic tournaments including BPL.

The wicketkeeper-batter has already completed his transfer to Mohammedan Sporting Club ahead of the new season. 

Speaking to the media today after the opening day of player transfers, Bijoy admitted he is not yet fully match-ready, but remains optimistic about regaining peak condition soon.

“Honestly, I won’t say I’m 100 percent ready and that’s the truth. But I still have around 15 days. I’ve been preparing mentally and practicing over the past few days, so I hope to be fully ready before the DPL begins,” he said.

Bijoy also addressed the criticism and negativity surrounding him, particularly on social media. He urged fans and observers to adopt a more supportive tone. 

“Everywhere I look, there’s negativity and critical comments. I want people to speak positively and create a positive environment. Let’s leave the negativity behind,” he added.

He further revealed that he had communicated directly with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) regarding his situation.
According to Bijoy, the board has treated him with respect and given his concerns due importance. He also expressed frustration over what he described as inconsistent portrayals of his case across media platforms, maintaining that he has been misrepresented at different times since the BPL.

Looking ahead, Bijoy shared his excitement about representing Mohammedan, especially in high-profile clashes like the traditional rivalry against Abahani Limited. 

“We grew up hearing about Abahani vs Mohammedan--it’s a big rivalry. I’ve played for Abahani before, and now I have the chance to represent another big club. Naturally, the mindset is to contribute to a winning team,” he said.
