While walking back from the press conference room after explaining his position regarding the squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, Bangladesh chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain seemed like he missed something.

"I think I should have mentioned that it is not true that Nurul Hasan was not considered for the last three years considering he was carrying an finger injury for quite some time but now when we picked him everywhere it is mentioned that he is returning in the national set-up after a gap of three years," Ashraf had told Cricbuzz last week.

"I think everyone seemed to have forgotten about the finger injury," Ashraf said. The chief selector was at the receiving end for not picking Nurul despite the player's consistent performances in the domestic level.

When Nurul's was asked about the the finger injury, he said that he took time to get a hold of himself and it clearly suggested that he had gone through a lot, if not anything else.

"It is a part of life," Nurul told this website.

"I had to have two surgeries for a fracture in one of my fingers. When I went for the surgery for the second time, then the doctor - after seeing the x-ray and other reports - said, "99 percent of human beings do not need any surgery for this injury. You had a surgery. And now, you need to have another surgery for the infection.

"I had a gap due to the rehab and the other proceedings and somehow lost the momentum which was difficult for me because I created my place for national team and I wouldn't get it again if I lose the place," he said.

"The trauma varies from man-to-man but I have taken it as a part of life and I don't have any complaints. Many things can be said about the injury but all of them are parts of life."

The wicket-keeper batter had to wait for a lengthy period to get back his place but unlike the past he's seemed to have matured a lot as he now understands that nothing is granted.

"Yes, that period is over (getting excited after knowing that I am picked) and did not have any reaction when two or three people congratulated me," Nurul said while playing for the Bangladesh A team in Top End T20 tournament in Australia.
