Stories from the field

Behind the assignment

    Football, a new chapter

    In Baku I followed Bangladesh's journey at the FIFA U-15 World Cup & Festival, where the team finished runners-up in Tier E. A reminder of why covering developing talent matters.

    At cricket's historic grounds

    Covering the ICC Women's T20 World Cup brought me to Lord's and The Oval, places where the setting and the stories behind the game are as memorable as the score.

    Stories from the Top End

    During the Top End T20 in Darwin, I reported on Bangladesh A and recorded conversations with players and people involved in Northern Territory cricket.

Community & leadership

Building connections beyond the newsroom.

Sports media has also connected me with volunteer and professional communities. I served as a founding secretary of the Bangladesh Cricket Supporters Association from 2014 to 2023 and became a member of JCI Dhaka Founders in 2024.

In 2025, JCI activities took me to the Asia-Pacific Conference in Mongolia and the World Congress in Tunisia. These experiences reinforced the value of learning, collaboration and contributing beyond one's profession.
