The SHI family is overjoyed to share some incredible news – our very own Arif Billah and Khairul Alam have been selected for the primary squad of the Bangladesh National Rugby Team for the upcoming Bangladesh-Nepal series! These two remarkable athletes have been with SHI since 2017, growing from passionate young players into true leaders on and off the field. Their journey from our grassroots programs to the national stage is a shining example of what dedication, hard work and the right support can achieve. We’ve watched with pride as they’ve overcome every challenge with determination, and now they’re ready to represent Bangladesh at the highest level. To Arif and Khairul: you’ve already made us so proud, and we know you’ll inspire a new generation of athletes as you take this next exciting step in your rugby careers. This isn’t just your victory – it’s proof of the incredible potential within all our youth when given opportunity and encouragement. The entire SHI community will be cheering you on as you wear the national colors with honor! #SHIProud #BangladeshRugby #RisingStars
