DHAKA: Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, the most successful ODI captain of Bangladesh Cricket Team, has turned 34 Thursday (October 5).

Mashrafe was born on October 5, 1983 in Narail District. His father is a businessman and the mother a housewife. He married Sumona Haque, from the same district, in 2006.  

The couple is blessed with a son and a daughter.

The Tiger skipper is an icon to the young generation, in both terms of his professional and personal lives. 

Reporters haven’t forgotten his crying, as injury left him outside the field during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 in Bangladesh.

In 2015, he ascended team Bangladesh in the Cricket World Cup as a captain of Bangladesh.

In this long successful career, he has overcome many ups and downs, injuries on his knees and ankles, to be more precise.

The right-arm pacer, popularly called as ‘Narail Express’, has played 36 Tests, 179 ODI, and 52 T20Is. 

Bangladesh Cricket Team will soar much higher at Mashrafe’s mighty hands, a constant expectation from the cricket lovers of the country.
