Hi Shahed,
Firstly, congratulations on your excellent results. Keep working on your game.
In a few years see if you can get an opportunity to play some international events. It will still take a few years of development to get to the level of playing professionally which you can do with hard training in Bangladesh.

Perfecting the Push
This week's master class is called Perfecting the Push. To have a great push you need to first see how much backspin is on the ball as it is coming towards you. Then you need to alter your stroke to counter this backspin. You also need to concentrate on generating your own backspin to make it harder for you opponent.

Perhaps go on a few international training camps first? I know William Henzell trained overseas and still plays for Aus
