Mashrafe Mortaza was forced to withdraw from the International Twenty20 three years ago. Bangladesh’s most successful captain in limited-overs cricket announced his sudden retirement from the T20 during a tour of Sri Lanka in 2016. Mashrafe is gone, at least in the twenty-overs format, nothing will happen to him, a lot of rumors spread in the air. In the next three years, however, he played many games in twenty overs and also helped the team win the title. But this time the context is different. No one could have imagined that Mashrafe, who has been out of practice for a long time due to Corona, would make it to the final.
But actually that is what has happened. On Monday, for the first time in his T20 career, Mashrafe took 5 wickets to beat Jamcon Khulna by 48 runs. And this gold-wrapped success has earned him the Man of the Match award.
Mashrafe played a match in the Dhaka Premier League last March. After a long break, the other cricketers returned to the field but he was nowhere to be found. He began practicing on his own initiative to play in the Presidents Cup last October. But the unfortunate partner falls down injured. The chance to play in the President’s Cup ended on October 17 when he sustained a hamstring injury while running on the City Club field in Mirpur. Despite the possibility of Bangabandhu returning to the T20 Cup after recovering from injury, he was initially not named in the players’ draft due to injury. After overcoming all obstacles, Mashrafe had the opportunity to return to the field after 6 months and 22 days in the Jamcon Khulna jersey.
After recovering from injury, four teams showed interest in Mashrafe: Fortune Barisal, Beximco Dhaka, Jamcon Khulna, and Minister Group Rajshahi. The reception of your match is decided by lottery as more than one match expressed interest. Jamcon Khulna lands Mashrafe in the lottery. On December 6, Gazi Group broke a long break with a match against Chittagong. And Mashrafe played an effective role early on in destroying Chittagong’s entrances on Monday. Saumya picked up on his first change. Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar are the fittest hitters of the entire tournament. Saumya picked up on his first change. Return to Liton in the next. Mashrafe completed 150 wickets in 20 overs by returning these two explosive hitters. In total, he took 153 wickets in 16 games. Of these, 42 are international windows. So far, Mashrafe’s best achievement in T20 cricket was 4 wickets for 11 runs in the Rangpur jersey against Comilla Victorians in the BPL. Mashrafe, 38, passed away on Monday. Got 5 wickets for the first time with 35 runs.
What is the secret of such success? “There is no secret to success,” Mashrafe said. Go to the dance in a good place, that’s all. Playing field cricket after eight and nine months was not easy. It was not ideal for me. But the veteran cricketers on the team have given me a lot of confidence. Going to the dance in my place, that’s what I’ve been doing for many years. ‘
How is it possible to be mentally fit even at the age of 36? Once again, Mashrafe gave the most inspiring response to the Bangladesh cricket captain: “Cricket is a game of mind. But the moment was difficult. It was not easy for me to play the game after Corona was positive. I was trying to fit in. Then I injured my hamstring. Honestly, he was obsessed. I was confident that I could play this tournament. Thank goodness that’s what happened. After that I got some land and got my confidence back.
