BCB and Team Bangladesh gave the Caribbean a different shame!

Cricketers from Bangladesh and the West Indies observed a minute’s silence before kick-off at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Sagarika on Sunday morning, the fifth day of the Chittagong event. Not just a minute of silence, but black badges on the arms of the Caribbean cricketers.

Very naturally the question arose, who paid homage to the soul and observed this silence before the start of the game? Why or a sign of mourning on the arms of West Indian cricketers?

Former West Indies cricketer Ezra Mozle is no longer on the electronic board at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. Born in 1956, the former Caribbean fast bowler has breathed his last.

The Caribbeans did not make the mistake of showing deep respect and esteem for their former national cricketer, even when they came to play in foreign lands across those seven seas and thirteen rivers. The same goes for showing sincere respect to the former cricketer.

Not that Ezra Mozilla had many big and famous stars. He is best known for his work as Clive Lloyd, Rohan Kanai, Alvin Kalicharan, Viv Richards, Gordon Greenidge, Desmond Haynes, Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Kartley Ambrose, Walsh, Richie Richardson, Carl Hooper, Brian Laret No.

Not on the list of West Indian stars and famous cricketers. Even then, the biggest identity is that he has played 2 trials and 9 ODI for the West Indies. In 1990-1991, Ezra Mozal had a very short career.

But the West Indians showed with their fingers in their eyes that a cricketer who fights for the country with the ball and the bat is a national hero. The country’s ‘brand ambassador’. The real job is to show him due respect.

So even when the national team is out of the country, to show respect and honor to Mozle; But sadly, the true Caribbeans could not, but the Bangladesh Cricket Board and the national team.

Raisuddin Ahmed, the guardian of cricket from Bangladesh, passed away a few days ago on the morning of the first ODI against the West Indies. BCB and Team Bangladesh could not show so much respect for his soul. A minute of silence and a black plate, nothing happened.

Some people may not know that Rice Uddin Ahmed may not have entered the field wearing the national team jersey with bat and ball. What’s in there Rice Uddin Ahmedra has decorated cricket in Bangladesh.

Now the country’s cricket garden is organized, so that the colorful flowers bloom in layers. It is surrounded by the fragrance of flowers. Rice Uddin Ahmera built that garden. They cultivated flower gardens. And his flower garden is the cricket of today’s Bangladesh; But that man did not receive the slightest respect for his works. No respect equaled.

Why, why did Raisuddin, one of the country’s cricketers, not get the respect he deserved after his death? It has no explanation or good answer. Why this reluctance? In fact, who is responsible for not showing due respect to Raisuddin, one of the architects of cricket in the country? Whose shame is this? However, the cricketers and officials of the Bangladesh team also supported the Caribbeans and paid tribute to their cricketer.

The respect and reverence shown by the Caribbean to Mozal’s soul on Sunday morning reminded once again that the BCB and the national team are far behind in due respect to their predecessors.
