Mashrafe misses the start

Mashrafe Bin Mortaza will not be playing Minister Dhaka’s first two matches in the Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier League, said their captain Mahmudullah Riyad.

Mashrafe has been out of competitive cricket since December 2020. He played for Gemcon Khulna in the Bangabandhu T20 Cup last, where Mahmudullah was the captain. Mashrafe returned to training ahead of BPL but showed some signs of discomfort during bowling.
