Mashrafe received criticism for his recent performance in the BPL due to insufficient preparation time caused by a lengthy election campaign. After a 52-run defeat against Comilla Victorians, the captain faced scrutiny. A former Bangladesh captain commented that “Mashrafe is nothing in Bangladesh cricket” and suggested focusing on upcoming players.

Recognizing his significance for the franchise, they are keen on having him on the field. A team possesses a particular strength. We know Mashrafe’s capability, not only in terms of his playing skills but also in his leadership qualities. The team’s leadership quality should also be taken into consideration, and based on this, the franchise owners are eager for Mashrafe to be in the XI,” said Nafees.
Regarding his preparation, there was a national election that impacted his preparation. Looking at the last match, his bowling was exceptional, and I believe he will continue to improve in the upcoming matches.One key thing about him is his strong mental strength, which is a natural gift not everyone has. He’s also excellent at adapting,” he said.
