Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, the ODI captain of the Tigers had a grand Bangladesh Premier League campaign this year as his team clinched the trophy defeating the Dhaka Dynamites.

Being the leader of Rangpur Riders in the league, he led his men to glory. As a result, the team have retained him for the next year’s league as well. He is the second player to be retained by the side after Chris Gayle.

Rangpur, despite being the fourth team in the group round, became the champions winning three back to back important matches including the final. Mashrafe lifted the BPL trophy for the fourth time among the five tournaments the league has seen since its inception.

Mashrafe Mortaza has proved his worth whenever the team needed him. He has been a true leader to the national side as well. Coming back every time facing crucial surgeries, his presence on the field itself has worked as an inspiration for his teammates.

The man’s presence will surely cheer up his BPL side as well from next year on. The owners of Rangpur have undoubtedly taken the right decision to have reserved him for the next campaign as well.
