A rare father-son moment

In a rare sight in cricket, Afghan all-rounder Mohammad Nabi and his son, Hassan Eisakhil, featured for the same team in a Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) match in Sylhet on Sunday. In a touching moment, Eisakhil was handed his cap before the game as he made his BPL debut. Playing for Noakhali Express against Dhaka Capitals, he immediately stamped his authority with a 60-ball 92 while sharing a 53-run fourth-wicket stand with his father, who made 17 off 13 deliveries. The 41-year-old Nabi and his 19-year-old son, however, had played against each other in competitive cricket in July last year during the Shpageeza Cricket League (SCL), Afghanistan’s premier T20 tournament.
