It is easy for guys like [Stuart] Broad and [Ben] Stokes who have been doing it for years. I don't think Shafiul [Islam] and Kamrul [Islam Rabbi] bowled that badly. (Collected from a national daily)
Consider those sentences and tell me why the writer has used square bracket in the name of those player? And Why not always first part of a name or second part? why sometimes first and sometimes second part?
Is this a quotation? Square brackets are used to indicate words that have been inserted into some text by the writer to provide clarification. It is traditional to identify cricketers by their last names, and I suspect that the original text might have been:
It is easy for guys like Broad and Stokes who have been doing it for years. I don't think Shafiul and Kamrul bowled that badly.
Finally, the writer tells us (with a parenthetical comment) that the text was from a national daily newspaper.
