Talking to Geo, prior to his departure to Bangladesh on Wednesday, Anwar said that playing in BPL is a good opportunity for him to prove himself.

"All top players are there, I hope to perform according to expectations and prove myself to the selectors back home," Anwar said.

"As a player, my job is to perform wherever I'm playing and that's what I'm looking to do in Bangladesh during the BPL," he added.
