Did the era of Mashrafe end in secret? | The Daily Star Bangla

After making his debut as a teenager in 2001, Mashrafe bin Mortuza was never abandoned due to his acting. When he was first eliminated, the last song of the day was playing in his career. Leader, stubborn, inspiring, combative – another name for dedication, he has spread the light on Bangladeshi cricket for the past two decades. That journey seemed to end in complete secrecy. What happened in the end is also a matter of curiosity. However, the idea that 37 Peruvian Mashrafe could return to the national team in the reality of Bangladesh is an exaggeration.

It’s safe to say that the country’s most successful captain played his last international match against Zimbabwe in 2020, starting with Zimbabwe in 2001.

Mashrafe garnered great respect and love on that series in Sylhet last year as the last of his captaincy. He left a ‘but’ when announcing that he will continue to play on the field even after leaving the leadership. Even though he went to give her a sense of parting love, people were saddened.

January 4, 2021 is no different. Pretty pretty simple. Under the sweet afternoon sun, the two selectors explained the ‘difficult’ decision to expel Mashrafe in front of the BCB Academy building in Mirpur. Chiefs Minhazul Abedin Nannu and Habibul Bashar Sumon also regretted that they were unable to leave the field. Of course, there is a difference between them and Mashrafe. They must have wanted to leave the field, the authorities did not meet. Mashrafe doesn’t have many wishes of her own.

Clearly, he will keep playing. It is up to the selectors to decide whether to include him in the team or not.

The selectors have finally reduced that difficult “burden” to a “joint decision.” They didn’t have to be too questionable in the way he explained the omission. Team management no longer looks to Mashrafe in the next plan. Many games ahead, there is ODI World Cup in 2023. Several promising youngsters are knocking on the national team’s door.

Mashrafe, who is 36 years old, will be in Peru for 40 years at the World Cup. No other team in the world would bet on a fast pitcher at that age. However, it would not have been easy to ignore Mashrafe if his performance chart were on the upside. The final failure of 1 wicket in 6 matches at the World Cup could not be offset by 4 wickets in 3 matches against Zimbabwe. That is why the BCB paved the way for Mashrafe to advance ‘without’.

BCB chief Nazmul Hasan Papon has raised big questions about Mashrafe’s fitness in some media. But Mashrafe has always hidden his injured body in Munsiana on the field. The issue of fitness has come to the fore primarily due to the decline in the performance margin due to age.

Otherwise, he would have wrapped the tape around his knees and started playing. It is reported that he came down to play the game sewing by hand. Daputa of Narail, who cared little about his injuries, became another child.

As player and captain, Mashrafe will lead two separate chapters in Bangladeshi cricket. At one point it was the main oxygen of a fragile, insecure and unstable group. At the start of Mashrafe, the wicket seemed to be a hint of a victory for Bangladesh. He is one of the leaders in taking the country’s cricket to another level with his performance.

When he got the captaincy in 2014, a messy team fell on his neck. With his instinctive personality and open mind, he tied each and every name in a single thread and set everyone’s chest on fire. His new brand stunned the world at the 2015 World Cup. Even after that, he just continued the expedition to the top. Big wins are always a matter of time. The ‘Minos’ plaque was removed from the body as if it were Bangladesh.

So hope for the 2019 World Cup soared. The place of hope that he himself made. If not, perhaps the path to the sweet finale of the Mashrafe chapter will become thorny.

The reality is that Sachin Tendulkar also has to stop for a while. Brian Lara had to leave twenty-two meters. Even the most influential Mahendra Singh Dhoni had to say privately: “Albida.”

A superstar like Mashrafe will say goodbye to cricket in Bangladesh. This is the natural desire of people. Satisfaction of perfection found in a beautiful farewell. Moving forward in thinking to welcome the new.

But due to the complexity of various calculations, people’s wishes are no longer fulfilled. If Mashrafe himself does not want such a farewell, the BCB has little to do.

The BCB’s relationship with Mashrafe has cooled off since the World Cup. It is known through various sources that they wanted to say goodbye to Mashrafe. Did not agree. The Zimbabwe series has received a farewell reception without a one-day head start. The cricketer Mashrafe did not say goodbye. Mashrafe won’t give up his ‘cricket of love’ for now. It can be found in domestic cricket. Maybe you will get a fancy love by saying goodbye somewhere. Whether that happens or not, Mashrafe will continue to be a hero in Bangladesh cricket. But his disappearance in international cricket would have been inconvenient. Maybe he is an example for any future hero.
