Rony Talukder enrolls in Sonargaon University's BBA program
Bangladesh national team cricketer Rony Talukder has been admitted to the Bachelor of Business Studies (BBA) program at Sonargaon University on Wednesday (19 April).
Talukder, who has been playing as an attacking batsman since joining the national team in 2015, has recently been called up for the Bangladesh national team's ODIs and T20Is for the series against England and Ireland this season.
In the first T20 against Ireland, Talukder brought up his maiden half-century in international cricket off just 24 balls, the third-fastest half-century by a Bangladeshi batsman in T20Is.
However, Talukder's cricket career was put on hold due to his education. As a result, he decided to enrol in the BBA program at Sonargaon University's Green Road campus.
