Nabi Shares BPL Stage With Son Eisakhil In Special Debut

For all the franchise glitz, the purest moment in the BPL came when Mohammad Nabi walked up to his own son, Hassan Eisakhil, and handed him a Noakhali cap. Father and son, seasoned allrounder and wide‑eyed debutant, finally walked out as team-mates in Bangladesh’s marquee T20 league.

Father, Son and a Shared BPL Dream

This wasn’t some scripted promo. You could see the pride in Nabi’s eyes as Eisakhil adjusted his cap, took a deep breath and joined the team huddle. For years, fans have watched Nabi carry Afghanistan cricket on his shoulders; now they were watching him guide the next generation from his own family in a high-pressure Bangladesh Premier League clash.

In the post-match interaction, their chemistry felt more like two friends pulling each other’s leg than a stern father with a nervous rookie. Eisakhil called their relationship “normal”, almost casual, but the competitive edge was clear the moment training came up.

"I am only strict in training. No excuses." — Mohammad Nabi

For Indian and Afghan fans alike, this was a reminder of what cricket really is beneath the floodlights and sponsor logos — a family game passed from one generation to the next. Somewhere between Nabi’s decades of graft and Eisakhil’s first strides in franchise cricket, the BPL gifted us a moment that will sit alongside the most emotional stories this league has thrown up over the years.
