for an 11-ball duck.
Sarkar contributed three more first class half-centuries during the season: one as Dhaka drew the match with Barisal
, and 71 and 60 in a draw with Khulna Division
. Three of his four first class half-centuries thus came against Khulna, who finished bottom of the first class league in the 2005–06 season, as was his only Man of the Match
award, which came in a one-day game where he scored 124 and shared an opening stand of 199 with Anwar Hossain
