A long time ago, Mashrafe Mortaza kept the jersey of the country. Yet the green grass of the field, 22 yards, seems to call him by hand. Besides the identity of the cricketer, he is also an MP, but at the end of the day, he will run 22 yards with the ball. This invincible Mashrafe can’t be stopped. He seems to be happy to bring a break-through and the team back to comfort. Mortaza is such a person. Besides leading the Legends of Rupganj in the Danka Premier League (DPL), Mortaza is also successful with the ball.
There was also uncertainty about whether he would play in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) next January. He has been suffering from a back injury for a long time. That is why he could not play in several matches in BPL. Meanwhile, Mortaza did not get any results even though he ran in different directions in the mission to recover from that injury. In the end, the doctor’s advice was surgery to solve the problem.
However, he decided not to undergo surgery. Basically, playing in the DPL, Mortaza is looking for a way to recover without surgery. Because, even after the surgery, he had to go out of the field for a long time. Eventually, he went to Chennai, India to receive treatment. However, this fast bowler could not come on the field at the beginning of DPL even after returning to the country.
But whenever he returned to the field, it was as if Rupganj got the old Mortaza back to the game. The presence of ‘Narail Express’ has also strengthened the bowling unit of the team as it has heightened the entire team with its leadership. The fact that he is forty years old, is not found in Mortaza of 22 yards. He bowled in a controlled manner throughout the tournament. He was also quite consistent in wicket hunting.
In the latest DPL, Mortaza is at number 6 in the list of most wicket-takers. The pacer has taken a total of 20 wickets in 14 matches in Rupganj’s jersey. Economy rate or bowling average, Mortaza is quite impressive in every angle. Mortaza made 29.75 balls per wicket at a cost of 5.45 runs per over.
