They called me too… But said no
By Raja Baradwaj
That is what Mr. Mashrafe Mortaza of Bangladesh has said about ICL and the formation of the new Dhaka Warriors team (cricinfo). We need to remember that Mr. Mashrafe is the Vice Captain of the Bangladesh team, one of the most senior & responsible members of the team.
The moment I saw this piece of news I wanted to ask Vice Captain Mashrafe Mortaza a couple of questions.
1. It is commonsense that when they asked you to join Dhaka Warriors there must have been at least 10 other Bangla players who had or who were willing to sign-up. As Vice Captain why didn’t you take this to the notice of your board or the team management and try and stem the exodus??
2. Why do you disclose that you had an offer now? Are you expecting Mr. Modi to hear or read your interview and say “Good Boy, here’s your IPL contract”?
3. I heard you have a dodgy knee, till when do you think your board would support you and keep playing you in your national team?
4. Do you know T20 is for the supremely fit players (prima donna’s excluded!!)? What do you think are your chances are of making into a starting 11 of an IPL team?
Let’s hope Mr. Modi has seen this interview of Mr. Mashrafe and let us hope he has already fixed a base price for Mashrafe and asked his typist to send the letter out to the teams!!
Good luck Mr. Mashrafe… In case you come across this blog do try reply.
