The academy
“To make a good cricketer.”
Academy players turn out in Sylhet first-division cricket and in Dhaka’s second and third divisions. Published reporting has called Green Sylhet the biggest cricket academy in the city, and names Rana Miah, a Bangladesh Cricket Board appointee for the district, as its coach.
In 2015 the academy won the Zakir Qureshi Memorial T20 at its own ground. Its man of the tournament, Nasum Ahmed, went on to bowl left-arm spin for Bangladesh.
