Nasir Hossain Returns! Shocking Comeback in Premier League Cricket 2025

Nasir Hossain Returns! Shocking Comeback in Premier League Cricket 2025

Nasir said - these are fake words, there is no such thing as a star or brand

Nasir Hossain is playing in the Premier League, many may be a little shocked to hear. Those who do not keep track of cricket - they may wonder, where did Nasir come from after so long!

Nasir Hossain, a cricketer who once played for the Bangladesh team, was banned from all forms of cricket for one and a half years in August 2023 for concealing it after receiving a 'gift'. After serving the ban, he returned to the game with a Premier League match at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur today. Nasir Hossain took 1 wicket for 31 runs in his comeback match for Rupganj Tigers against Gazi Group Cricketers, and later came out to bat and scored 9 runs in 11 balls.

The news about cricket on the field has been known, but Nasir Hossain is not just that. Wherever this all-rounder goes, controversy accompanies him. How is Nasir Hossain doing off the field now? In response to a question from reporters after the match in Mirpur today, he said, 'I have a child. I have a family. I am happy. I am fine.'

Even though he has been out of cricket for a year and a half, Nasir Hossain is like Nasir Hossain . Even when he faced reporters wearing three-quarter pants and a jersey, there was humor in his words and behavior. He also took a dig at the recent 'view-like journalism', 'Those who are named, are also defamed. This is normal. Now we do news in the online media to increase our TRP. I think it is better not to do that. Because, a family can have problems because of your news and a few likes. You know this very well. If it happens to your family, then you will understand.'

Nasir's personal life has repeatedly made headlines. Many times, the cricketer has also hidden Nasir. Nasir Hossain is also a bit proud about this, 'I was fine the way I was. There were no complaints about sports. I was not undisciplined. I didn't cheat in sports. And how I spend my life is my business. You don't tell me how I live my life. You just see how I am on the field. If I have done something wrong in cricket on the field, then you can tell me.'

But people follow everything about stars! When reminded of this, Nasir's straightforward reply was again, 'These are fake words, there is no such thing as stardom. If you are hungry, no one will come and tell you, brother, eat. These are nothing. I am fine as I am. I am a human being like you. I also have a life, a family.'

He also shared how much he missed cricket during the last one and a half year of 'exile', 'The thing I was missing was playing cricket. It feels very good to play cricket after a long time. I was out for one and a half years. I was brave. What else can I say (laughs). I was with my family. I was fine, Alhamdulillah.’

After so many days of returning to the game, many things seemed new to Nasir Hossain today. That is normal, of course. Before the game, he packed his luggage and warmed up—all of that was done after a year and a half. Nasir Hossain, who has played 19 Tests, 65 ODIs and 31 T20Is for Bangladesh, will surely want to experience the same thrill for the national team. Yes, this cricketer, who is ‘doing well’ in his personal life, is now also hoping for a good day in cricket. He dreams of playing for the national team again.
