Bishwajit Roy of the Daily Star interviews Bangladesh's new batting sensation Soumya Sarkar during one of the rain breaks against South Africa. Sarkar talks about his role models, how he is handling the fame at the age of 22, how his family has always supported him, playing under Mashrafe Mortaza, and more.
My aim is to play for Bangladesh for a very long time, at least 10-12 years. I know I will have to work very hard for that. I was getting a lot of starts since the World Cup, but I couldn't convert them into big knocks. Finally, I managed to break that pattern and make some big scores. That was due to two major reasons. After reaching twenty runs, I put more value on my wicket and became more selective with my shots.
