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.

This is the training plan where we focus on match strategy. Most people want to rush into details on how to beat certain styles of player but before you can do that you need to work out a couple of things. Firstly what are your strengths? What are your opponents weaknesses? These are critical to formulating a plan. This week we are going to focus on your strengths and next week we'll tackle your opponents weaknesses.

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