Mashrafe Mortaza Says “All of a sudden there was this rush to push me out”

Former Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza has said there was a rush to push him out of the team and into retirement after enduring a lean patch. “Firstly, they had to arrange a match to bid me farewell and it was not a normal match, a normal bilateral series is something and arranging a special match in a hurry is something else. Secondly, they were prepared to spend BDT 2 crore for that match. From an ethical point of view it is not right considering our first-class cricket players are not getting paid enough,” he added.
