Internet Desk: Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza hinted that he may end his international career after the 2016 season with the ICC World Twenty20 in all likelihood his last global event.
Asked if he has set any targets like playing the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy or 2018 World T20, Mashrafe said that he would not like to stick around for that long. For him a career decision, big or small has always been specific.
Mashrafe is the only player in this team, who has played more than 15 years of international cricket and that is the reason why like a big brother, he shares a fine relation with the next batch of seniors like Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim.
Under Mashrafe’s captaincy it is that Bangladesh qualified for the quarter-finals of the World Cup and for the first time qualified to play for the Champions Trophy 2017.
As a senior statesman, Mashrafe wants the Bangladeshi fans not to treat this game as a “war” even though the emotional quotient runs high.
