Mashrafe took a break from BPL

His team Sylhet Strikers confirmed this in a statement on Wednesday (January 31). The party also said that Mashrafe's break was due to political engagement. This cricketer became MP from Narail-2 constituency in the 12th National Parliament election. This time got the responsibility of the whip.

In a statement, Sylhet said, 'Sylhet captain has decided to take a break from the current BPL to take responsibility in the national parliament as a whip. He can return to play at the front of the tournament if he gets a chance amid political engagement.

Last year's runner-up team did not say anything about when Mashrafe will return. However, if there is an opportunity during the busy schedule, Narail Express can also be seen on the field. Meanwhile, vice-captain Mohammad Mithun will be seen leading Sylhet as Mashrafe goes on break.

In Sylhet's last match against Fortune Barisal, Mithun was trapped in the circle of failure with bat loss. This time he will handle the leadership. In Sylhet's next match, he will be seen leading against the great Dhaka on February 2.

Mashrafe contributed a lot with the ball in the last season. However, this time the former captain of Bangladesh could not shine like that. He was seen quite shaky throughout the event. Mashrafe's fading performance is very bad for Sylhet. The team played five matches in the tournament and lost all of them.

Mashrafe did not bowl in all the matches. He was seen running in short run-ups even after bowling. Former Bangladeshi cricketers Mohammad Ashraful and Akram Khanra criticized his game in BPL earlier.
