Former Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza said today that he was in favour of giving a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to three cricketers—Shakib Al Hasan, Liton Das and Mustafizur Rahman, for playing in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL).
Although Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha admitted the importance of playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Sri Lankan advocates prioritising playing for the country ahead of the T20 franchise league.
It appears that Bangladesh Test and T20I skipper Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das will not be allowed to skip the upcoming Ireland Test from April 04, as far as Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hasan Papon is concerned, after the two star cricketers applied for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to the BCB in order to be present from the beginning of the Indian Premier League (IPL), slated to begin on March 31.
A day ahead of the third and final ODI against Ireland on Thursday, the Tigers showed up to practice but two familiar faces, Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim, were not amongst the group that trained.
Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha lauded the Tigers’ ODI and Test skipper Shakib Al Hasan for reaching the milestone of 7000 ODI runs in ODIs, saying that had the premier all-rounder played in conditions like England, Australia, or even India, he would have scored around 12,000 runs in the 50-over format.
Shakib was asked how he managed to keep up with all his responsibilities on and off the field and the star cricketer replied with a smile: ‘Whoever is capable can do it all.’
Bangladesh star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has hogged the spotlights for mixed reasons in the past few days.
Towhid Hridoy was shaped by unfortunate long before his first international appearance for Bangladesh national team. In 2013, a ‘fake’ cricket academy in Banasree embezzled money from him deceitfully. His family suffered as they had to mortgage land for a young Hridoy to join that academy but his career faced early setback. Batting with the likes of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim yesterday, Towhid showcased his own talent. He talked to The Daily Star’s Abdullah Al Mehdi on facing deceit when pursuing cricket, and support of his family through difficult times. He also talked about batting with Mushfiqur Rahim yesterday and gave his opinion on Mashrafe Bin Mortaza’s comment during the BPL regarding his national team call up.
Just the day after achieving yet another milestone of scoring seven thousand ODI runs where Shakib scored a magnificent 93 run knock that helped Bangladesh to register their biggest win in ODIs over Ireland—the champion all-rounder was seen attending the convocation today
