Litton has to return from the PSL (Pakistan Super League) without playing a single match. All those days of hard work have gone in vain. Litton candidly said, “So sadly, my mission is over before it even began.”
The essence in Bengali: regrettably, my mission is ending even before it started.
The Tigers’ wicketkeeper-batsman falls flat at times, only to soar high again suddenly. Stories of hope are spun around him, as well as tales of disappointment. Litton understands all this now.
That’s why he once said:
“Criticism — this thing will happen. Since my life is now intertwined with cricket, when I perform well, people will praise me, and when I perform badly, they’ll react the same way. They want me to perform. This no longer bothers me.”
The fortunate unfortunate Litton went to Pakistan but got injured during practice, which ruled him out. By now, he’s probably already on a flight back home.
A cricketer who has achieved so much for his country, whose bat makes Bangladesh smile when it sings — of course he will come back.
Litton is not someone who uses misfortune as an excuse to withdraw.
If he were, then his name wouldn’t even be in this story.
