While Shakib Al Hasan was recruited by Rangpur Riders in the forthcoming BPL season, it meant, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza would have to leave the side.

Two Icon players aren’t allowed to play in same franchisees.

The Bangladesh ODI captain led Rangpur Riders to their maiden BPL title in 2017, and the knockout stage in the previous season.

When contacted, Mashrafe said he is aware of Shakib’s inclusion in the Rangpur Riders but the franchise owner is yet to let him know anything officially.

But Shakib remained tightlipped on Mashrafe’s issue saying that it is up to team management and Mashrafe himself.
