A cricketer loved by millions, a true star of Bangladesh cricket, was all set to lead the country in the world’s biggest cricket extravaganza, the ICC Cricket World Cup.
But as the World Cup approached, his body betrayed him and he had no option but to give up the captaincy and hand over the captaincy to Shakib Al Hasan.
Nevertheless, he was expected to be an integral part of the team at the World Cup. But in the end, when the 15-member squad was announced for the showcase event, his name was missing.
Now, at this point you might be thinking that I’m talking about a certain southpaw from Chattogram. But I’m not. The player I am referring to is not an opening batsman, but a fast bowler from Narayan, who has become the best captain of the country till date in limited overs cricket. Of course, his name is Mashrafe bin Murtaza.
