Tushar Imran crossed a milestone of 10,000-run first class cricket at the time of the first round fixture of the Bangladesh Cricket League (BCL). And Razzak surpassed a benchmark of 500-wicket first class cricket during the second round outing of the BCL. At this moment, Tushar is the highest run-scorer of the first class cricket.
