Apart from various age group tournaments, he represented Assam under -19 team in Cooch Behar Trophy in the season 2019-20 and was instrumental in the team’s stupendous success in defeating several front ranking State Teams of the country.

“He was definitely a bright bowling prospect of our State who will be immensely missed. On behalf of Assam Cricket Association, I express heartfelt condolences to his parents, friends & well-wishers & prayers for eternal peace of the departed soul,” Devajit wrote in his Facebook post.

Assam has been faring decently at the domestic level and is unfurling some exciting cricketers. But they will now miss Bivakar Nag in the upcoming matches. The pace bowler would’ve done wonders to the team in senior cricket but he lost his life in a tragic incident.
