Domestic/State Team
In his initial days, he represented Bengal in the Ranji Trophy and picked up crucial wickets for the team. He also represented East Zone in the Duleep Trophy. He chose Bangladesh because Mumbai had a strong batting line-up and it would be difficult for him to cement his place in the team. However, in Bengal, there are a lot of openings for the batsmen. He also represented East Zone in the Duleep Trophy. In 2001-02, he was selected as the captain of the Bengal team, but it did not work out. In 2003, he scored 139 runs in an Indian A-League tour match against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge and led the team to victory by 7 wickets. His performance in domestic cricket led to his selection in the Indian team for the triangular series in Australia in January 2004, replacing the injured Mohammad Kaif. He expressed his joy after the selection, saying:
“I couldn’t stop smiling for three days.”
