If you say the name of the most successful captain or the most successful pacer in the history of Bangladesh cricket, the name of Mashrafe Bin Mortaza comes first. During his two-decade-long international career, he had to undergo numerous surgeries due to injuries. But he did not give up. Played again, brought victory for Bangladesh. However, Mashrafe is not playing in the national team, this cricketer is in great form in this year’s BPL.

Mashrafe is getting regular success with the ball in this year’s BPL. He is leading Sylhet Strikers. Just as his team is at the top of the points table, Mashrafe’s name is also at the top of the wicket takers. That is why cricket lovers want to see him again in the national team. But Mashrafe is clear, he has no desire to play in the national team again.

Although he has left T20, he has not said goodbye to ODI yet. Mashrafe wore the jersey of the national team for the last time in 2020 amid off form. He did not even receive a guard of honor in that farewell match. Mashrafe has put up the red-green jersey because he is proud of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Of course, he does not want such a farewell for anyone else. He requested a honorable farewell for Shakib Al Hasan.

While talking to the media during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), Mashrafe said, “I want the cricketers to leave with dignity. Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah Riyad and Shakib are the legends of our country. They have worked hard for the country. They deserve respect while leaving.” Let everyone know that farewells are done with honor in Bangladesh too.”

“I never expected anything from anyone. I never expected to get anything from the board. I do what I like to do when I like to do it. I do the same on the field. It is my happiness, my love. Don’t think about leaving. Honestly, if asked a thousand times, I’d say, “I expect nothing.”
