Mashrafe seeks time to decide on his future

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Nazmul Hassan announced the appointment of Russell Domingo as the new head of Bangladesh cricket team during a press conference in Mirpur today. Nazmul also cleared the air about the future of skipper Mahrafe Bin Mortaza.

BCB was planning to host a lone ODI against Zimbabwe either between the Test and tri-nation series or following the two series to give Mashrafe a grand farewell, but nothing was decided.

However, the BCB president informed today that they have given Mashrafe a two-month period to make a decision on the matter after the skipper had asked for it.

"We talked to Mahrafe about the matter and he has asked us to give him two months to make a decision on the matter. The board has allowed him the time to decide." said Nazmul.

The captain has had a World Cup to forget as his bowling performances have brought in large criticism. Regardless of his performances in the World Cup, Mashrafe has been a vital element in building the team. BCB is also eager to give the beloved cricketer a proper send-off.
