From an early age, Shamol displayed an innate talent for cricket, spending countless hours perfecting his skills under the sweltering sun. His exceptional ability as an allrounder caught the eye of local selectors, propelling him into the ranks of the district's youth teams.

His breakthrough came during a regional tournament where he impressed with both the bat and ball. Shamol’s right-hand batting was characterised by aggressive stroke-play, often unsettling bowlers with dazzling drives and explosive pull shots. Equally adept with the ball, his versatile bowling—consisting of off-spin and medium pace—offered captains an invaluable dual threat. These performances earned him a spot in the Bangladesh U-19 squad, marking the beginning of his professional journey.
