Even though Bangladesh exited the Asia Cup, two of the country's umpires -- Masudur Rahman and Gazi Sohel -- are still officiating at the marquee event. Masudur served as the on-field umpire in both the India-Pakistan high-voltage encounters. The way he handled pressure in such high-voltage matches has gained praises from all quarters. 

India and Pakistan do not meet each other outside multi-nation tournaments and when they meet in a tournament as big as the Asia Cup, cricket fans around the world have their eyes glued to such fixtures. Officiating such fixtures that feature stars to light up any occasion and doing so without any controversy is a rare thing. Bangladesh’s Masudur Rahman did just that during this Asia Cup. He talked to The Daily Star’s Abdullah Al Mehdi on representing Bangladesh in such big matches and about other things. Excerpts of the interview are as follows:

With momentums shifting hither and thither, viewers kept at the edge of their seats and a nail-biting finish – the India-Pakistan Asia Cup Super 4 clash on Sunday in Dubai offered everything that fans expect from these two arch-rivals.

In a match with a lot of T20 ammunition, it was Mohammad Rizwan’s stoick knock and Mohammad Nawaz’s quickfire 42 which sealed a Super Four win in another tight affair of the Asia Cup between Pakistan and India.
