Farhad Hossain, a player who has never played International cricket :: 🏏World of Cricket Contest Series || Contest - 9
In the international cricket arena, there are many talented cricketers. However, there are times that some talented cricketers were never able to represent their nation at the international level. There are a number of cricketers who have played and performed admirably well in domestic cricket matches but have never been given the opportunity to play in an international match because other players were performing better, or their luck never favored at all.
I'm going to write about Farhad Hossain, a Bangladeshi talented cricketer who never played international cricket.

Scoring more than 8500 runs in first-class (17 hundreds & 43 fifties) and 2200 runs (14 fifties) in List A matches seems not enough for Farhad Hossain to convince selectors to give him any chance for international level. However, by never picking Farhad Hossain, Bangladesh team also deprived of possibly one of their best ever talented cricketer.
